Use Fourier series to solve this equation in the case of a circular wire. How does the solution depend on the magnitudes of the positive constants $\kappa$ and $\tau$?

Then check that the coefficients of the resulting power series are the same as the power series coefficients for $f(z)$. Note that if you write $z = re^{i \psi}$ then this formula appears very similar to the general solution of the heat equation.
