Robert Rowley, "Finite line of charge," American Journal of Physics, 2006 Volume 74, Issue 12, pp. 1120. From the Absract: "The equipotentials are shown to be prolate ellipsoids and the electric field lines follow hyperboloids confocal to the ellipsoids. The common foci are shown to be the endpoints of the charged line segment." | |
