Finite Difference Method to solve Poisson's Equation in Two Dimensions.

This code employs successive over relaxation method to solve Poisson's equation.

You are now following this Submission

At the end, this code plots the color map of electric potential evaluated by solving 2D Poisson's equation. The bottom wall is initialized with a known potential as the boundary condition and a charge is placed at the center of the computation domain. All units are arbitrary.
