AI Thread Summary

Mathematical equations for electrode resistances, particularly for shapes like hemispherical and conic electrodes, can be found by researching "spreading resistance." The hemisphere and disk geometries are the most commonly referenced in the context of semiconductor contacts. Other electrode shapes have less available information and are not as widely studied. For detailed equations, academic papers and textbooks on semiconductor physics may provide additional insights. Exploring these resources will yield the necessary mathematical descriptions for various electrode types.

Where can I find a set of equations that describe mathematically the resistance of various types of electrodes (e.g. hemispherical, conic, etc)?

Thank you in advance!

Look up "spreading resistance." You'll find the hemisphere and disk are the most widely used (for semiconductor contacts, e.g.). I haven't seen other shapes.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
