Notes:
The boundary element method has been used to obtain the electrical capacitances of the unit equilateral triangle, square, regular tetrahedron and cube. For each of these objects, a series of values of the number N of segments has been used and then empirical formulae have been used to extrapolate N to infinity. The singularities of the charge densities at the edges and corners of these objects can be characterised by power laws, the relevant exponents of which have also been determined.
