thanks for your thoughts. Even in the two-dimensional case, the fact that the problem space cannot be confined to a region of which the boundary conditions are given either by specification or by symmetry considerations, makes this problem analytically impossible to solve. I guess, that's why...
I was wondering if the problem becomes analytically solvable if it becomes two-dimensional by assuming that both plates extend into infinity in the direction perpendicular to the drawing plane.
I am struggling with a problem which involves the calculation of the nonuniform electric field fields between two identical parallel plates in which one of the plates is slightly displaced in lateral direction with respect to the other plate (i.e. they do not overlap perfectly). The gap between...
