Abstract

The potential distribution and field intensity for a hyperboloid probe in a uniform field were calculated. Evaluation was done as function of the dielectric constant of the medium filling the space between the tip and the surface and as function of the hyperboloidal shape parameters. The probe was modeled as a dielectric medium with the geometry of a one sheeted hyperboloid of revolution. The probe was located above a charged substrate surface which was modeled as a dielectric half space interfaced with a uniform surface charge density. Comparisons were made with the case of a dielectric spheroidal body.
