Abstract

We consider the problem of interaction of three charged particles, the size of one of which can be disregarded. The equations for the expansion coefficients of the electric field potential are derived using the method of expansion in spherical harmonics. Expressions are obtained for the Cartesian components of the interaction force and the torque due to this force. It is shown that in spite of the axial symmetry breaking after the addition of the third particle, if the free charge is distributed uniformly over the surface of a spherical particle, all vector components of the torque acting on this particle are equal to zero. By separating the contributions from image charges in explicit form, we have derived the expressions for the surface charge density and the force of interaction of the particles. The conditions for the emergence of attraction between similarly charged spherical particles depending on the position of the point particle are investigated.
