This paper deals with the analysis of the distribution of the electric field around the spinning electrodes used for the production of nanofibres by the AC-electrospinning method. Understanding the behavior of the electrostatic field around the electrodes is an important part for design a spinning device. The performed analyzes were carried out depending on the previously performed optimization of the shape of the spherical electrode, which ensures a uniform distribution of the intensity of the electric field across the functional surface of the electrode. Analyzes were performed for multiple diameters of the spherical electrode and the dependence of the intensity of the electric field on the electrode diameter was monitored. Furthermore, the electrical voltage dependence on the electrode diameter and surface was monitored at the same electric field strength.
