2 Basic electrode systems Different configurations Parallel plate electrodes Co-axial cylinders Concentric spheres 2

3 Cylindrical Electrode systems r 2 : applied voltage r 1, r 2 : radii of the spheres r 1 Co-axial Cylinders 3

4 Electric field Which coordinate system we should use? Cylindrical coordinates!!! What does it depend on? E (hence V) only depends on the r-coordinate!!! r,, z: cylindrical coordinates 4

5 Cylindrical coordinate system 5

6 Electric field and potential equations Electrical charges We can use Gauss Law Laplace s equation In cylindrical coordinates 6

7 By Laplace s equation Laplace s equation in cylindrical coordinates V = 2 V r r V r V r 2 θ V z 2 = 0 (dependent variable is r) 0 0 V = d2 V dr r dv dr = 0 V = V(r) 2 nd degree differential equation 7

8 ln d dv dr dr d dv dr dv dv dr + 1 r dv dr = 0 = 1 r dr dr = ln r + A = ln A r dv dr = A r dv = A r dr 8

9 Solution for this differential equation General solution: V = V r = A ln r + B Constants A and B is determined by the data of the problem which is called boundary conditions. 9

10 Boundary conditions r = r 2 V = V 2 = 0 0 = A ln r 2 + B B = A ln r 2 r = r 1 V = V 1 = = A ln r 1 + B = A ln r 1 A ln r 2 = A ln r 1 A = ln r 1 r2 r 2 A = ln r & B = 2 ln r 2 ln r 2 10

11 A = ln r & B = 2 ln r 2 ln r 2 Lets put those constants into the general solution: V = A lnr + B = ln r ln r + 2 ln r ln r 2 2 = ln r ln r + ln r

12 Solution Potential equation for the co-axial cylinders V = V(r) = ln r ln 2 r 2 r 12

13 Potential change by r 13

14 Solution Electric Field Equation for co-axial cylinders E = dv dr = ln r 2 1 r E changes inversely proportional to r 14
