kuvamenetelmä
Kuvamenetelmä, often translated as "image method" or "picture method," is a mathematical technique used primarily in electromagnetism and electrostatics to solve boundary-value problems. It involves introducing fictitious charges, known as "image charges," in positions outside the actual charge distribution and boundary to simplify the problem. These image charges are chosen such that they satisfy the boundary conditions of the original problem.
The core idea is to replace a complex physical setup, such as a point charge near a
This method is particularly effective for problems involving conductors, such as planes, spheres, and cylinders, due
