Electric Fields of Rod Arrangements

Abstract

In treating electric fields within the scope of EMC, questions often arise about the fields produced by rod arrangements. Naturally in this context, rod arrangements could also be arrangements of wires and conductors. Hence, it is of interest to be able to investigate arbitrary arrangements. A limitation is made in this chapter to parallel rods and wires. Parallel arrangements are easy to analyse, general rules and statements can be better evaluated and explained with the aid of parallel arrangements. Currently arbitrary arrangements of thin wires (thin electrodes) are analysed using a computer program, based on the method of moments.
