A bstract This second part deals with a subject analogous to the one developed in the first part, but related to surface irregularities with a non‐cylindrical structure. In this part we have taken into consideration both the effects due to potential electrodes and the effects due to current electrodes. The study of these cases has been made with the help of mathematical theory, but it has been necessary to extend this theory from the case of cylindrical bodies to the case of non‐cylindrical ones. Finally, as conclusion to both parts of the paper, some pages have been dedicated to the details of the calculation procedure, in order to demonstrate its practical htness for the study of this problem.
