Find a function that is harmonic on the washer-shaped region between the circles |z|=1, |z|=2\, and takes the values 20 and 30 on the inner and outer circle.

For washer-shaped regions, guess \phi(x,y) = A \mathrm{Log}|z| + B\, where \mathrm{Log}\, is the principal value.

Then these equations must hold:

\phi(1,0) = A \mathrm{Log}1 + B = 20 \implies B=20\,

\phi(2,0) = A \mathrm{Log}2 + B = 30 \implies A=\frac{10}{\mathrm{Log}2}\,

So

\phi(x,y) = \frac{10\mathrm{Log}|z|}{\mathrm{Log}2} + 20\,

For a washer centered at z_0\,, guess the function \phi(x,y) = A\mathrm{Log}|z-z_0| + B\,.
