An application of toroidal functions in electrostatics

A method employing the use of toroidal functions is introduced for calculating the scalar potential and the electric field from a charged conducting ring. This method is an alternative to the well-known elliptic integral formulation and is usually easier to formulate than the elliptic integral solut...

Zusammenfassung:A method employing the use of toroidal functions is introduced for calculating the scalar potential and the electric field from a charged conducting ring. This method is an alternative to the well-known elliptic integral formulation and is usually easier to formulate than the elliptic integral solution.
