Hi elect-eng.
My first reply to you disappeared into the message black-hole. I'm still learning how to use the Forum.
True, the charges in the conductor are prevented from flowing back because of the outer capacitor. However, any flow through the meter resistance is in the opposite...
Many thanks, oxDEADBEEF and Born2bwire. A drawing has (hopefully) been included as an attachment.
A conductor placed in an electric field E will become polarised. This polarisation (or induced) voltage should be (E x length of conductor parallel to the field). This is the voltage I am trying to...
Two aluminium plates, each 150 x 150mm, were separated by 100mm to create a form of parallel-plate capacitor. A DC voltage of 300 volts was connected across the plates to create a (fairly) linear electric field of approximately 3000 V/m between them.
An insulated conductor was bent into a U...
