    Abstract

    The paper compares the rigorous and the conventional approximate line source solution of Laplace's equation used to evaluate the potential of a single cylindrical fibre. Particular attention is given to the solutions for a radially restricted circular cylindrical volume conductor. The effect of the extent of the volume conductor b on the difference between the potentials evaluated according to the different models is examined. For values of b larger than 10 times the fibre radius, the relative difference is less than 1 per cent and the values of b around 2 times the fibre radii, the error reaches as much as 17 per cent.
