We analytically derive and numerically simulate a two-dimensional energy functional modelling the effects of a constant electric field on a thin sample of a bent-core liquid crystal in the ferromagnetic SmA-like phase. We start from a three-dimensional domain and show that under proper rescaling and in the limit of small thickness the electric self-interactions term gives rise to boundary terms. We compare our results to previously proposed models.
