Electrostatics in a simple wormhole revisited
The electrostatic potential generated by a point charge at rest in a simple
static, spherically symmetric wormhole is given in the form of series of
multipoles and in closed form. The general potential which is physically
acceptable depends on a parameter due to the fact that the monopole solution is
arbitrary. When the wormhole has Z2-symmetry, the potential is completely
determined. The calculation of the electrostatic self-energy and of the
self-force is performed in all cases considered.Comment: 16 pages, no figure
