Home / Examples / Magnetic Analysis (Gauss, Static Analysis/Harmonic analysis) / Example 13: Inductance of Two Parallel-Plate Electrodes

Inductance of the two parallel-plate electrodes is solved.
The inductance, the vectors of the magnetic field and the magnetic flux density are solved.
Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.
Results will vary depending on Femtet version and the PC environment.
