description

Abstract We consider a system of two spheres with different radii embedded in an infinite medium supporting an external uniform electric field. We calculate the electric potential in the whole space and the dipole moment of this system using the bispherical coordinates system. Our method is efficient enough to avoid any simplifying approximation concerning the system geometry, the external field orientation and the conductivity of the spheres.
