An application of Chebyshev polynomials to a problem of electrical engineering (Q1184768)

\textit{A. Skopec} [Bestimmung der Ungleichförmigkeit des Feldes zwischen exzentrischen Kugelflächen, Zeszyty Nauk Politech. Wroclawskiej. Elektryka XVI (62), 13-22 (1963)] considered an electrostatic field of a certain capacitor. Its plates are two eccentric spheres one of which is contained in the second one. For such a capacitor Skopec found the capacity \(C\) and the coefficient of nonuniformity \(B\) of the corresponding electrostatic field. The author shows that Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind permit us to simplify \(C\) and \(B\) and to make them more explicit. Also, in order to accelerate convergence of the series so obtained an additional transformation is recommended.
