Abstract

ALDANA, R.; VIDAL ALCALA, J.  and  GONZALEZ, G.. The random walk of an electrostatic field using parallel infinite charged planes. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2015, vol.61, n.3, pp.154-159. ISSN 0035-001X.

We show that it is possible to generate a random walk with an electrostatic field by means of several parallel infinite charged planes in which the surface charge distribution could be either ±ó. We formulate the problem of this stochastic process by using a rate equation for the most probable value for the electrostatic field subject to the appropriate transition probabilities according to the electrostatic boundary conditions. Our model gives rise to a stochastic law when the charge distribution is not deterministic. The probability distribution of the electrostatic field intensity, the mean value of the electrostatic force and the energy density are obtained.

Keywords : Random walk in random media; Markov chain; electrostatic field.
