SU(2) Yang-Mills theory coupled in a non-minimal way to two scalar fields is discussed. For the massless scalar fields a family of finite energy solutions generated by an external, static electric charge is found. Additionally, there is a single solution which can be interpreted as a confining one. Similar solutions have been obtained in the magnetic sector. In the case of massive scalar fields the Coulomb problem is investigated. We find that asymptotic behavior of the fields can also, for some values of the parameters of the model, give confinement of the electric charge. Quite interestingly one glueball-meson coupling gives the linear confining potential. Finally, it is shown how, for one non-dynamical scalar field, we can derive the color dielectric generalization of the Pagels-Tomboulis model.
