Simulation problem
Problem Type
Plane-parallel problem of AC Conduction.
Electrical conductivity of the tissue is g = 0.35 S/m
Relative electrical permittivity of the tissue is ε = 9500
Frequency f = 60 kHz.
Potential difference ΔU = 200 V (peak).
Obtain the electric field distribution around the electrodes.
In QuickField we should specify magnitude and phase of voltage sources. We apply 100V ∠0° to the left electrode and 100V ∠180° to the right electrode.
