The electrostatic field of a set of arbitrarily located circular disks is considered. A set of governing integral equations is derived by a new method. It is shown that some integral characteristics can be found without solving the integral equations. The upper and lower bounds for the total charge are found from a set of linear algebraic equations whose coefficients are defined by simple geometric characteristics of the system. Examples considered show sufficient sharpness of the estimations.
