Abstract: We give a survey concerning both very classical and recent results on the electrostatic interpretation of the zeros of some well-known families of polynomials, and the interplay between these models and the asymptotic distribution of their zeros when the degree of the polynomials tends to infinity. The leading role is played by the differential equation satisfied by these polynomials. Some new developments, applications and open problems are presented.

Review text

The paper provides a survey of both classical and recent results on the electrostatic interpretation of the zeros of some well known families of polynomials, and shows the interplay between these models and the asymptotic distribution of their zeros when the degree of the polynomials tends to infinity. Some new developments, applications and open problems are also presented.
