Dielectric body with arbitrary shaped and positioned cavity in homogeneous transversal electric field

Abstract

This paper presents an application of Charge Simulation Method for calculation of the electric field strength and the potential in the arbitrary shaped and positioned cavity of the dielectric body. The dielectric body can also have an arbitrary, but known shape. Several examples of the dielectric body with the cavity are presented. The whole system is in the homogeneous transverse electrical field. The results obtained in this way have been compared to the results obtained by the program’s packages: Bela 1.0 and Quickfield 4.2 (Student’s Edition).
