Description

The conventional infinite series representing the electrostatic potential of a point charge between two grounded conducting plates are know to be slowly convergent. It is shown that straight foward application of the Pade approximation technique to accelerate convergence of the series permits accurate computation of the potential. (author)

Abstract (Portuguese)

As series convencionais infinitas representando o potencial eletrostatico de uma carga pontual entre duas placas condutoras ligadas a terra sao lentamente convergentes. Mostra-se que a aplicacao direta da tecnica de aproximacao Pade para acelerar a convergencia das series permite o calculo preciso do potencial. (M.C.K.)
