Abstract

The stationary shapes of a conducting fluid drop in the gap between the plates of a plane capacitor are studied. The drop is held on the upper plate by the surface tension forces. The self-consistent problem of the determination of the drop shape and the charge distribution over its surface is solved. Estimates are obtained for the maximum volume of the stationary drop at the given fluid parameters and electric field strength.
