I will discuss an effort of doing electrostatics with a Coulomb potential that is truncated below a cutoff distance. That is, the potential is constant up to the cutoff distance and only then decays 1/r. I will argue that this potential may be useful, for example, when incorporating charge discreteness or short-range charge-charge correlations into the framework of continuum electrostatics. How does Poisson’s equation look like? Can it be solved, and what do we learn? Everyone interested in a different perspective, perhaps even a deeper understanding, of Poisson’s equation in electrostatics is encouraged to attend.
