Earthed plates confusion

indigating

Now I'm confused… you previously mentioned "indagate", an archaic but valid word meaning to investigate, from the Latin "indagare". "Indigate", as used in your post #27 seems like a misspelling of "indicate". Though it could be useful to describe e.g. wagging one's finger at a queue jumper, expressing digital indication of indignation all in one go.

I'll explain! In Post #24 you wrote:

I looked at the link. The first (remarkable) sentence of the abstract is this:

"The foremost grail of this academic indagation is to delineate a mathematical expression of the normalised charge density over a flat disk."

Had to look-up 'indagation' and found it meant search or enquiry.

I then felt an ironic compulsion to use it in subsequent posts. Sorry about that!
