An accurate quantitative picture of electric field distribution is essential in many electrical and
electronic applications. In composite dielectric configurations composed of multiple dielectrics, anomalous
or unexpected behavior of electric fields may appear when a solid dielectric is in contact with a conductor
or another solid dielectric. The electric field near the contact point may become higher than the original
field not only in the surrounding medium but also in the solid dielectric. Theoretically it may become
infinitely high, depending on the contact angle.

Although these characteristics are very important in a variety of applications, they have been clarified
only recently using analytical and numerical calculation methods, and this is the first book to cover these
new findings.
Electric Fields in Composite Dielectrics and Their Applications describes the fundamental characteristics
and practical applications of electric fields in composite dielectrics. The focus is on the field distribution
(and the resultant force when appropriate) near points of contact.

Applications include insulation design of high-voltage equipment with solid insulating supports, utilization
of electrostatic force on dielectric particles in electrophotography and electrorheological fluids, and others.
Electric Fields in Composite Dielectrics and Their Applications also explains the calculation methods used to
analyze electric fields in composite dielectrics
