Abstract
The stability of a heavily charged drop in a weak uniform electrostatic field (in which the equilibrium shape of the drop can be represented by a prolate spheroid) is calculated in the fourth order of smallness in the eccentricity of the spheroidal drop and in the first order of smallness in the drop oscillation dimensionless amplitude. It is found that as the order of approximation in eccentricity grows, so does the number of modes interacting with the initially excited mode. In the given order of smallness, the preferred (initially excited) mode is shown to interact with the nearest eight modes. The drop becomes unstable if such is the second mode.
