| Aug 10, 2020 at 16:13 | comment | added | Thirsty for concepts | Thank you.......But the volume of a dee is not "completely" enclosed by a conductor since one face is open...then how?........are u saying that as the height is very small as compared to radius we can consider that to be almost closed? | |
| Aug 10, 2020 at 16:01 | comment | added | Jon Custer | @Thirstyforconcepts - no electric field exists in a volume completely enclosed by a conductor. So, there is a small fringing field that penetrates into the volume of the dees, but the height of the dees is small compared with the radius so the field doesn't penetrate very far. | |
| Aug 10, 2020 at 15:47 | comment | added | Thirsty for concepts | Thank you🙏🏼.....so will the electric field also exist in that hollow space....and why does electric field penetrates just slightly and not more.....I mean why doesn't the curved surface of the dees just act like capacitors and the field should exist from the curved end of one Dee to the curved end of the other.....but instead of that electric field exists only in that narrow space between these dees........I am afraid that I may have got the concept wrong....so pls rectify🙏🏼 | |
