Internal semiconductor of coaxial capacitor

How to determine the capacitance of a coaxial structure?

Figure 5.24.1 5.24. 1: Determining the capacitance of a coaxial structure. (CC BY SA 4.0; K. Kikkeri) In this section, we shall find the capacitance by assuming a total charge Q+ Q + on the inner conductor and integrating over the associated electric field to obtain the voltage between the conductors.

How many cylinders are in a coaxial capacitor?

A cylindrical (or coaxial) capacitor is made of two concentric metallic cylinders. Let the radius of the inner cylinder be ri and ro for the outer one. In-between the cylinders are two media with different relative permittivities ε1 and ε2. The two boundaries between these media may also be radial, see schematic on the right.

How do you calculate capacitance per unit length of a coaxial cable?

Therefore the capacitance per unit length, C′ C ′, is C′ = 2πϵ ln(b/a). (5.3.1) (5.3.1) C ′ = 2 π ϵ ln (b / a). This is by no means solely of academic interest. The capacitance per unit length of coaxial cable (“coax”) is an important property of the cable, and this is the formula used to calculate it.

Does a finite-length capacitor have an internal field?

In the central region of a finite-length capacitor, however, the field is not much different from the field that exists in the case of infinite length, and if the energy storage in fringing fields is negligible compared to the energy storage in this central region then there is no harm in assuming the internal field is constant with z z.

What is the tangential part of the electric field in a capacitor?

At the boundaries between the two media, the tangential part of the electric field has to be continuous which is in our case the ρ component E ρ 1 = E ρ 2 . This implies that the electric field everywhere inside the capacitor has the same form and is only depending on the radial coordinate ρ.

What is the electric field inside a coaxial structure?

This is worth noting for future reference: The electric field inside a coaxial structure comprised of concentric conductors and having uniform charge density on the inner conductor is identical to the electric field of a line charge in free space having the same charge density. Next, we get V V using (Section 5.8)
