Abstract
In this work, we modeled and simulated the electric potential generated by point charges in the region of grounded conductor planes for Yukawa potential (e − μ /r) and Coulomb potential (1/r). We show the symbolic expression for the electric potential and some graphs for it and for the electric field with different values of μ . We observe that the electric potential decreases as the value of μ increases and that does not allow all the charge to be distributed on the surface of the conductor.
