Capacitance between two wires-not straight

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating capacitance between two parallel wires that are not straight, specifically when they may take on parabolic shapes. The method for determining capacitance remains consistent with traditional approaches used for straight wires, applying similar principles of electrostatics. The conversation emphasizes the need for understanding the geometry of the wires to accurately compute capacitance values.

Hi,
I would like to know how to calculate capacitance between two wires which are parallel but not necessarily straight.for instance the two wires might be parabolic..I would like to calculate for such general structures.i.e) two parallel wires that are not necessarily straight.

Thanks in advance

You do it the same way as you work out the capacitance of anything.
