Electrostatic vs DC Conduction Simulations for E-field Analysis

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the comparison between electrostatic and DC conduction simulations for electric field (E-field) analysis. Both methods can be utilized for simple field analysis between boundaries, as the underlying mathematics is analogous. Electrostatic simulations are influenced by changes in dielectric constant, while DC conduction simulations are affected by variations in conductivity. The choice between these methods depends on the specific requirements of the simulation scenario.

TL;DR
When is it appropriate/inappropriate to use electrostatic and dc conduction simulations for e-field analysis
Hi,

I am doing e-field simulations and have came across two types; electrostatic and dc conduction. I know that electrostatic means there is no changing field so I'm just hoping for discussion on when one is more appropriate than the other and when one definitely should or should not be used.

Welcome to PF.
You can use either method for simple field analysis between boundaries because the mathematics is the same for both. One can be adapted to be the analog of the other.
With electrostatic field mapping, changes in dielectric constant will affect the field gradient.
With DC current field mapping, changes in conductivity will affect the field gradient.
For a more specific answer we need a more specific question.
Are you using a physical model or a computer algorithm ?
 

Thread 'uA709 op amp compensation'

Most likely this can only be answered by an "old timer". I am making measurements on an uA709 op amp (metal can). I would like to calculate the frequency rolloff curves (I can measure them). I assume the compensation is via the miller effect. To do the calculations I would need to know the gain of the transistors and the effective resistance seen at the compensation terminals, not including the values I put there. Anyone know those values?
