    Abstract

    During the 1960s, the first measurements of charge on dielectric surfaces using simple electrostatic probes were reported. However it is only within the last 10 years that a proper understanding of the probe response has been developed. This situation arose as a consequence of the earlier studies adopting a purely circuit theory approach in an attempt to solve a quite complex field problem. A field problem of this nature can only be addressed correctly through a field theoretical approach. Such an approach is discussed in the present paper.
