Extract

Atkinson, Young and Brezovich [1: 1983] gave a formula for the potential distribution due to a circular disc condenser with arbitrary spacing parameter к (the ratio of separation of the discs to their radius). This was simpler to calculate than the formulation which I gave in [8: 1949]; but unfortunately it fails to satisfy two requirements, as the present paper shows. Together with [8], this paper shows that the potential formulated in [8] satisfies all requirements.
