Abstract

Consider two perfectly conducting spheres in a homogeneous medium where the current-electric field relation is the power law. Electric field E blows up in the L∞-norm as δ, the distance between the conductors, tends to zero. We give here a concise rigorous justification of the rate of this blow-up in terms of δ. If the current-electric field relation is linear, see similar results obtained earlier in [E. S. Bao, Y. Y. Li, and B. Yin, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal., 193 (2009), pp. 195-226; H. Kang, M. Lim, and K.
