Calculation of the Electrostatic Field Within a Structure of Uniformly Spaced Coaxial Conducting Loops

For research and engineering applications a nearly uniform electrostatic field within a given volume of free space can be created inside a series of identical, evenly spaced coaxial loops which are charged to uniformly incremented voltages. In this report the electrostatic field of such a structure is calculated using two methods: 1) using elliptic integrals for a finite set of round loops of circular cross section, and 2) using Laplace's equation with approximate boundary conditions for an infinite set of square loops of elliptical cross section.
