Abstract
The extremely low frequency (ELF) electric field coupling to dielectric spheroidal models of biological objects is studied. Simple expressions are obtained to determine the internal electric field strength induced inside two nonspherical spheroids; a prolate dielectric spheroid and an oblate dielectric spheroid. Certain numerical results are graphically presented for various geometric shapes of the spheroid. The results show that, unlike the symmetric dielectric sphere, the relative position of the spheroid with respect to the orientation of the impressed electric field is an extremely important parameter which considerably affects the electric field coupling.Keywords
