Abstract

Calculation of the Coulomb self-energy of a solid hemisphere with uniform volume charge density represents a very challenging task. This system is an interesting example of a body that lacks spherical symmetry though it can be conveniently dealt with in spherical coordinates. In this work, we explain how to calculate the Coulomb self-energy of a solid hemisphere with uniform volume charge density by using a method that relies on the expansion of the Coulomb potential as an infinite series in terms of Legendre polynomials. The final result for the Coulomb self-energy of a uniformly charged solid hemisphere turns out to be quite simple. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
