Equipotential Surfaces for Uniformly Charged Symmetric Polyhedral Conductors

Abstract

In this paper the structure of equipotential surfaces of uniformly charged symmetric polyhedral conductors is discussed. It is observed that the structure of the equipotential surface is influenced more by the shape of the symmetric polyhedral conductor if it is evaluated at a smaller distance from that conductor. As we move away from the conductor, the equipotential surface becomes similar to that due to a point source, which is spherical in shape. The distance between the symmetric polyhedral conductor and the first occurrence of its spherical equipotential surface has been theoretically calculated in this paper.
