ABSTRACT: We address the problem of the force exerted on a dielectric slab partially introduced into a charged parallel plate capacitor. This elementary problem is usually solved calculating this ...

This chapter presents details of the methodology used for setting up a parallel‐plate capacitor and its charging and discharging, using the finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) method. It also ...

ABSTRACT: We analyze the familiar effect of the pulling of a magnetizable rod by a magnetic field inside a solenoid. We find that the analogy with the pulling of a dielectric slab by a charged ...

Abstract: Since the 19th century, physicists and mathematicians have tried to find the Electric field due to various objects. However, the electric field inside a parallel-plate capacitor, one of the ...
