Image Charges Re-Imagined

Published 24 Aug 2018 in physics.class-ph, hep-th, math-ph, math.MP, and physics.hist-ph | (1808.08300v2)

Abstract: We discuss the grounded, equipotential ellipse in two-dimensional electrostatics to illustrate different ways of extending the domain of the potential and placing image charges such that homogeneous boundary conditions are satisfied. In particular, we compare and contrast the Kelvin and Sommerfeld image methods.
