The potential f on the semicircle ZzZ 1, y 0, satisfies the boundary conditions f(x, 0)

Chapter 20, Problem 7

(choose chapter or problem)

 The potential \(\phi\) on the semicircle \(|z| \leq 1\), \(y \geq 0), satisfies the boundary conditions \(\phi(x, 0)=0\), \(-1<x<1\), and \(\phi\left(e^{i \theta}\right)=1,0<\theta<\pi\). Show that

\(\phi(x, y)=\frac{1}{\pi} \operatorname{Arg}\left(\frac{z-1}{z+1}\right)^{2})

and use the mapping properties of linear fractional transformations to explain why the equipotential lines are arcs of circles.
