Image approximation to the reaction field
Abstract
The reaction field for a charge at an arbitrary position in a spherical cavity in a medium of dielectric constant ε may be expressed in terms of the electrical potential of a certain image charge. For ε τ 1 the potential of the reaction field in the cavity is quite accurately the same as the electrical potential of the image charge. These observations form the basis of a rather economical and accurate way to calculate the reaction field's contribution to the interaction potential of particles with electric moments within a cavity within a dielectric. The results promise to be useful in the study of models for polar fluids and solutions by the Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics methods.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
