Problem

Solve Laplace's equation by separation of variables in cylindrical coordinates, assuming there is no dependence on zz (cylindrical symmetry). [Make sure you find all solutions to the radial equation; in particular, your result must accommodate the case of an infinite line charge, for which (of course) we already know the answer.]
