Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Effect of Discontinuities of Dielectric Constant on Electrostatic Fields Near Conductors
It is assumed that the leading term in the potential is of the form rx; and an equation for X 18 Obtained. In general k depends upon the quantities a/b and However, it is found that when 5 a/2 then x n/o, independently of 51 and 82. Thus when the conducting wedge is placed symmetrically With re Spect to the interface, the discontinuity of dielectric constant has no effect on the local functional form of the potential or field. Interesting Situations occur when a a 3n/2 and B n/? Or p n. These cases arise when an aperture in a conducting screen of the cross section indicated in Figures 2a and 2b is closed by'a sheet of dielectric material 82.
