Capacitance of Right Angle plates

AI Thread 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 'Why measure the speed of light in one direction?'

It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
