Hi,
Does anyone know an equation/approximation/model or other to estimate the capacitance between two coplanar (adjacent) plates?
I know that for parallel plates: C = E0*Er*(A/d). I also know that the capacitance decrease as the plates move from a parallel to a coplanar geometry as the electric field becomes non-uniform.
I have been modelling parallel plates using a Boundary Element Method - I was wondering whether such a method would hold for a coplaner geometry?
Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated!
Regards
Tom
