Cylindrical needle to plane electric field
Problem Type:
Axisymmetric problem of electrostatics.
Geometry:
Distance from needle tip to plane surface - 5 mm.
Given:
Relative permittivity of air ε = 1;
Needle potential U = 10 kV
Plate potential 0 V
Task:
Determine the electric field strength distribution as a function of needle diameter d.
Solution:
Parametric analysis is automated with LabelMover tool.
Results:
Electric potential distribution around the needle, d=2 mm.
