How to measure electric field from a Non meshed coil?

Balaji Viswanadh Gollapalli

I am looking to find a way to measure electric field intensity (V/m) at a certain distance from a non meshed coil. Could you please advise how do I go about it? Tried defining a sensor with 'E' as the measured quantity but it gave 0 V/m. 

 

Thanks

Hello Balaji;

 

The electric field and magnetic field are separated in low frequency. In Flux you have dedicated application for magnetic field and others for Electric field.

 

If you try to compute electric field in magnetic application, this not possible. It is only possible when you use AC steady state magnetic application, and with solid conductors not for non meshed coils.

 

The non meshed coils are only used to produce magnetic field, and they are based on biot & savart method.

 

If you are interested on electric field so please use the dedicated application.

Thank you @Farid zidat for your kind response. I am actually using steady state AC magnetic application. I will re-model with Solid conductors. Just to confirm, when you say solid conductor is it a 2-terminal solid conductor? which needs to be assigned to a geometry element and should be driven by either voltage or current source in CircuitView? Just to confirm. 

Is there any example model that I can review to learn more? 

 

Thanks

You are welcome Balaji!

 

Yes, it is two terminal solid conductor, it must be linked to a volume region. This solid conductor must be supplied by a voltage or current sources. But a solid conductor region can be also used to induce eddy current inside.

 

There is now a specific tutorial unfortunately, but one can find information from the help.
