About Computing Capacitance in Model Gallery Model ID: 12689

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi everyone,

Recently I learned the "Computing Capacitance" in Model Gallery, the link is

www.comsol.com/model/computing-capacitance-12689

But there is one thing that I did not catch. Why they use glass as the insulating part, but other parts are set as air? Are they supposed to have metal plates as conductor? If i change the material of the plates to be copper, the results seem to be wired. Can anyone help me? Thanks so much!

Best,
Shan
