The electrostatic problem of a portion of sphere protruding from a plane electrode in an electric field
Year: 1981
Type: article
Abstract: The method used by Lebedev and Skalskaya (1962) for solving the electrostatic problem of a grounded sphere lying on a plane in an electric field, is generalised to the case of a portion of sphere protruding from a plane electrode. Expressions are developed for the electrical field on the surface and along the axis of the sphere. Results are checked in elementary cases for which the solution is already known. Numerical values of charge and force coefficients are tabulated.
