Conducting Sphere
Conducting Sphere
This verification example considers a perfectly conducting sphere placed between two charged capacitor plates. An axisymmetric solution for the electrostatic potential is compared with a full 3D one, and verified against the analytical solution U(xi) = E0*(r3/xi2 - xi), where the electrical field is the potential …
Spherical Capacitor
Spherical Capacitor
Model of an electrostatic spherical capacitor. The example makes use of a 2D axisymmetric approximation with three subdomains, where an electric charge is applied between the middle insulating layer. For this configuration the analytic capacitance can be calculated as 4*πεrε0/dr, where dr is the thickness of the …
