Abstract
A procedure is presented for extracting the singularity from the kernel in Pocklington´s electric field integral equation for thin wires. The modified kernel which results may be used to dramatically improve the computational efficiency of certain moment method formulations. A simple example is considered in which pulse basis functions and point matching are used. For this case, a convenient approximation of the self-impedance term is also derived
