In electrostatics, the coefficients of potential determine the relationship between the charge and electrostatic potential , which is purely geometric:

where Qi is the surface charge on conductor i. The coefficients of potential are the coefficients pij. φi should be correctly read as the potential on the i-th conductor, and hence " p 21 {\displaystyle p_{21}} " is the p due to charge 1 on conductor 2.

Note that:

The physical content of the symmetry is as follows:
