Abstract

The electrostatic configurations of the Born-Infeld field in the 2-dimensional Euclidean plane are obtained by means of a non-analytical complex mapping which captures the structure of equipotential and field lines. The electrostatic field reaches the Born-Infeld limit value when the field lines become tangent to an epicycloid around the origin. The total energy by unit of length remains finite.
