Question 1

Determine if the PDE \(\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial t^2} - k^2 \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2} = 0\) is hyperbolic, parabolic, or elliptic.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Check the coefficients against the discriminant criteria.

Question 2

Consider a scenario involving electric potential in a region with no charges present. Which PDE would apply and why?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on the characteristics of steady states versus dynamics.
