Extract

In [2], Fabrikant and his colleagues obtain a closed form solution to a generalized potential problem for a surface of revolution. This they specialize to solve three electrostatic problems for a spherical cap, including one for which the boundary conditions are not axisymmetric. In all three the solutions are expressed in terms of elementary functions.
