Asymptotic Directions for the Zero Sets of the Components of an Electrical Field from a Finite Number of Point Charges on the Plane Part II

Abstract

We study the structure of the zero set of a nontrivial finite point charge electrical field $F=(X,Y)$ in the plane ${\mathbb{R}}^2$. We establish equations satisfied by the possible directions for the zero sets \{X = 0\} and $\{Y=0\}$ separately, and we show that there are only finitely many possible asymptotic directions for both of these zero sets. We suspect that the set of asymptotic directions for \{X = 0\} and the set of asymptotic directions for $\{Y=0\}$ are (essentially) distinct.

This article is the second part of an earlier article by the same authors on zeros of electrical fields of points charges. See arXiv:2106.04706
