Capacitance of Right Angle plates

Click For Summary
To determine the capacitance of two plates forming a right angle, computational methods can be employed, including the method of moments. The discussion references a paper by Barrachina that validates its model with Xiang's work, which is behind a paywall. For practical examples, "Static and Dynamic Electricity" by Smythe offers 2D solved cases using Schwartz transformation. Additionally, texts by Harrington and Walter Gibson provide further insights into capacitance calculations using the method of moments. Understanding these methods can facilitate accurate capacitance modeling for right-angle plate configurations.

I have a question:

I have two plates that form a right angle. How would I go about finding the Capacitance of the two plates?

I read that paper before. I really want to read Xiang's paper that the Barrachina paper uses to validate their model with. However, Xiang's paper costs $22 to read.
 
Hello compton1-
Smythe "Static and Dynamic Electricity" 3rd edition chapter 4 has lots of 2D examples solved by the Schwartz transformation.

Another computational approach is the method of moments. Capacitance examples are given in both method of moment texts by Harrington and Walter Gibson.
 

Thread 'What determines if wave components are independent vs coherent?'

I'm working through something and want to make sure I understand the physics. In a system with three wave components at 120° phase separation, the total energy calculation depends on how we treat them: If coherent (add amplitudes first, then square): E = (A₁ + A₂ + A₃)² = 0 If independent (square each, then add): E = A₁² + A₂² + A₃² = 3/2 = constant In three-phase electrical systems, we treat the phases as independent — total power is sum of individual powers. In light interference...
