Review of the Field of a Pair of
Oppositely Charged Plates in
Vacuum
 By symmetry, no field outside
 If plates have charge Q, area A, then by
Gauss’ Law D = 0E = Q/A between
plates
 If separation is d, then
 V = dE = dQ/ 0A or Q= (0A/d)
 If the capacitance C = 0A/d then
Q = C V
 Energy W = ½ QV = ½ 0E2 (dA)
 Or, W = ½ C V2

Polarization and Dielectric
Constant
 Suppose we have a polarization between the
plates P proportional to E
 Gauss’ Law says D = P+ 0E = Q/A
 Define dielectric constant in a material  by
 P = ( -0) so D =  E = Q/A
 So V = dE = dQ/ A , or Q = CV
 where capacitance C = A/d
 (substitute  for 0)
 Note W = ½ C V2 = ½  E2 (dA)
– Energy density times volume
Design Constraints
 Need 4E7 volts/meter across O2 to make O3
 Broad optimum around 30kHz
 Need insulating layer to avoid arc damage
– Alumina from Kyocera is good
 Need 1:1000 round shape factor for support
 Over 4kV becomes difficult to insulate
 Fewer larger cells are less expensive
 NOW YOU DESIGN AN OZONE CELL

Energy
W=  v*I dt
W=  v* (dQ/dt)* dt=  vdQ
For linear C, Q = C*V dQ= C dv
W=  C*vdv from v=0 to v=V
W = ½ C V2
Or W = ½ V*Q (area under curve of V vs Q)
Energy in a field
V= E*d = Efield/gap
Q=D*A= Dfield*area
W= (dA) * ( E*dD)
Volume V = dA
W = volume * energy per unit volume = V
*U
If linear, D = E and U =  E*dD = ½  E2
Displacement current
 I = dQ/dt
 Q = A*D = A * E
 So I = d(A* E )/dt, I/A = d(E )/dt
 We may identify d(E )/dt as displacement
current density
 Like j=I/A = current density
 Note later:
  H*dr =  {j+ d(E )/dt} dA
 so a loop around either current J or displacement
current d(E )/dt
 produces the same H field
Fringe fields
 If C = Co + Cfringe
 W = Wo + Wfringe

 Cfringe/Co = Wfringe/ Wo
 If Efringe <= Eo then
 Cfringe/Co <= Vfringe/ Vo
 Vo = dA
 Vfringe = d2 *P where P = perimeter
Fringe fields
example
Our example of a circular capacitor, radius
R
Vo = d* *R2
Vfringe = d2 * 2R
Vfringe/Vo = 2d/R
In our example, better than 1%.
Field Patterns
Consider 2 dimes, arranged on an axis, 10 meters
apart, oppositely charged to 1 coulomb
What does the field pattern look like:
1. within 1 mm of the positive dime's surface?
2. one meter from the positive dime?
3. 5meters from the axis center?
What is the field strength at each location above?
