On the Depolarization Factors for Anisotropic Ellipsoids in Anisotropic Media

Abstract

A definition of depolarization factors for anisotropic ellipsoid in an anisotropic medium is considered. The expressions for these factors are derived, which generalize some results known for special cases, and differences from the usual depolarization factors for ellipsoid in isotropic medium are described. The concept of "reduced" ellipsoid, allowing visually describe the effect of the medium anisotropy on depolarization is also introduced.
