Two intersecting conducting planes electric field

QuickField simulation example

Two conducting planes intersect at an angle β = 270°. The planes are assumed to be held at potential V. Find the electric field distribution near the corner.

Problem Type
Plane-parallel problem of electrostatics.

Geometry

Given
Relative permittivity of air ε = 1;
Voltage V = 100 V.

Solution
Open space problem is converted to the closed region problem using the "zero potential" boundary far away from the studying object.

Results
Electric field strength distribution along the plane:
