Abstract
The solution of electrostatic problems which obey the Laplace (Potential) equation has been accomplished over a number of years using techniques such as finite element, finite differences, etc. However the boundary element method has recently proven proven itself [1] an extremely powerful technique for the solution of this type of problem because it can easily and accurately model the singularities which commonly occur in this type of problem. Secondly and perhaps most importantly it easily models infinite regions.
