SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the Maxwell Capacitance and its implications in electrical engineering, particularly in the context of two underwater cables. Key points include the impact of the dielectric medium on capacitance coefficients C11, C22, and C12, as well as the importance of symmetry in calculations. The participants emphasize the need for clarity in understanding how the physical dimensions and environmental factors influence capacitance values.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Maxwell's equations
  • Knowledge of capacitance and dielectric materials

Hi ,
I understand the equation and calculation and stuffs. But I can't really visualise/understand.What it does?.And I have questions like
1)Why make it symmetry to do the calculations?
1)Will the medium /Dielectric between conductor 1 and 2 affect C11/C22.Or only C12?

Thanks for your time

What equation? I have no idea what you're asking about. Can you explain more, or give us a link to a web page that describes it?

The question goes something like this.Sorry if turns into homework
2 kabel of length 120 km goes through the sea.Two cables are 2m under the water surface and 5m apart.Plz see the attachment.
1)IF eR of water affect the coefficient of everything.My question is isn't the capacitance of line 1 wholly depends on the dimensions of inside?
2)And why give voltage values and length since the whole question is just finding the capacitance?
