Flux Density and Capitance relationship?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between flux density and capacitance in a parallel plate capacitor. It confirms that capacitance (C) can be expressed using the equation C = e0 A/d, where e0 is the permittivity of free space, A is the area of the plates, and d is the separation distance. The voltage across the capacitor is related to the electric field (E) and distance (d) by V = E d. The user seeks to find charge (Q) using the simulation parameters available, including electric potential and total flux density. The conversation emphasizes the need for equations that relate these electromagnetic parameters to capacitance.

Is there a way to relate flux Density with capacitance (Parallel plate capacitor). Yes/ No...

I will be thankful if you tell me the equation is there is a relationship.

In case we cannot relate them, then is there a way to relate any electromagnetic parameter with parallel plate capacitance.

Thanks

The voltage V on a parallel capacitor = E d where E is electric field (electric flux density) and d is separation.

C = Q/V = Q/(E d) =e0 A/d; e0 = 8.85 x 10^-12 Farads per meter

Is Q= (e0 A)/E??

From my last equation

Q/V = Q/(E d) = e0A/d

So Q = e0A E

(or = e0A V/d or = V C)

Thanks for your generous reply.

I am getting the value of E from my simulation software. 'd' is the distance between parallel plates, which is known. But what about Q. How can find Q? from the Simulation enviroment, I can compute the following variables

1. electric Potential
2. Total Flux Density
3. Total Field Intensity
4. Current Density
5. Inductance.

Pl tell me some equation that can be used to calculate capacitance (parallel plate), using the parameters that can be calculated using the software (5 listed above).

Thanks
 
This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...
Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'
Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
