Hello,

Given a list of charges and their position of the form
     {{q1,{x1,y1}},{q2,{x3,y3}},...,{qn,{xn,yn}}}
and a dielectric interface such that the dielectric constant
     is \epsilon_A for y>0
     is \epsilon_B for y<=0
How can I compute the electric potential everywhere?
I need to get an expression which is derivable to then compute the 
electric field.

I have an expression for an interface along x=0 (instead of y=0), but I 
fail at adapting it for my case:
