Non-regular Potentials and Sources for Static Axisymmetric Electrovacs

Abstract

In this lecture a new formalism for constructing electromagnetic surface sources for static axisymmetric electrovacs is presented. The electrostatic and magnetostatic sources are derived from the discontinuities of the scalar potentials. This formalism allows the inclusion of two kinds of dipole sources: Sheets of dipoles and the dipole moment of a distribution of monopoles. It is a generalization of a previous formalism in order to cope with asymptotically monopolar electric fields.
