摘要
Fields such as temperature, current density, and static electromagnetic fields in regions with no field sources are harmonic functions that satisfy the Laplace equation. Such functions on a sphere have a well-known mean value property. A new mean value property is derived for fields that are harmonic on an annular region, with the field sources enclosed by the inner boundary. Some examples are discussed.
