Summary

Description
English: Electric field of simple capacitor. The capacitor consists of two parallel rectangular plates perpendicular the the image plane and expanding to infinity. The field is accurately computed for a uniform charge distribution on each plate, but therefore the potential on each plate is not exactly constant.
