Abstract
The exact solution to an electrostatic problem of finding the electric potential of point charges inside a dielectric prolate spheroid is discussed in this note by using the classical electrostatic theory, where the prolate spheroid is embedded in a dissimilar dielectric medium. Such a problem may find its application in hybrid solvent biomolecular simulations, in which biomolecules and a part of solvent molecules within a dielectric cavity are explicitly modeled while a surrounding dielectric continuum is used to model bulk effects of the solvent beyond the cavity. Numerical experiments have demonstrated the convergence of the proposed series solutions.
