Electrostatic Boundary Conditions

ABSTRACT In electric field analysis, it is important to know the changes in field quantities as one crosses a boundary between a conductor and a dielectric or between two different dielectric media. In practical configurations comprising multi-dielectric media, this is of paramount importance, as quantities defining the field on the two sides of the boundary between two dielectrics often undergo significant changes. Boundary conditions are fundamental equations involving electric field quantities, which describe the changes in electrostatic field specifically in relation to boundary surfaces. In electrostatic field, another major aspect is the presence of charges on the boundaries, either free charges, as ...
