Electric field across a gap, two ways

The same calculation run twice, side by side. Change anything on either side and the difference is shown output by output. This page is a link: both sets of numbers are in the address bar.

Side A open alone

V Voltage

The potential difference across the gap.

d Gap

The electrode separation.

Side B open alone

V Voltage

The potential difference across the gap.

d Gap

The electrode separation.

Swap sides

What changed

The two sides are the same. Change something on either.

Output	A	B	B against A
E Electric field	2500 V/cm	2500 V/cm	same

Side A, with its numbers

2500 V/cm = \frac{500}{}

LaTeX

2500\,\mathrm{V/cm} = \frac{500\,\mathrm{V}}{2\,\mathrm{mm}}

Side B, with its numbers

2500 V/cm = \frac{500}{}

LaTeX

2500\,\mathrm{V/cm} = \frac{500\,\mathrm{V}}{2\,\mathrm{mm}}
