Two intersecting conducting planes electric field
electric field between planes, electric field FEA analysis
Two conducting planes intersect at an angle β = 270°. The planes are assumed to be held at potential V. Find the electric field distribution near the corner.
Problem Type:
Plane-parallel problem of electrostatics.
Geometry:
Given:
Relative permittivity of air ε = 1;
Voltage V = 100 V.
Solution:
Open space problem is converted to the closed region problem using the "zero potential" boundary far away from the studying object.
Results:
Electric field strength distribution along the plane:
