Configuration factor between a sphere and a plane

Extending the previous deduction to a finite rectangle located at a certain distance to the sphere in a random position (figure 6), a new unknown factor has been deducted:

 

F =

1 A1-A2

4p

 

(56)

 

7-‘Jxf+yf+ -2

 

-■Jx 2 + yj2 + z 2 Zy]xl + y2 + z 2

 

z x22 + y22 + z2
