Abstract: | The stability of a dielectric drop, which in an external electrostatic field takes on the equilibrium shape of a prolate spheroid, is analyzed using the principle of minimum total potential energy of an isolated system. The values of the Taylor parameter and degree of spheroidal deformation at which the drop loses stability are determined for a wide range of dielectric constants of the substance of the drop. Zh.
