Calculating the Voltage Drop along a Line
Description
Provide the complex voltage drop, in volts between two points by integrating the E-field along a line.
where l is a path between two points on which voltage difference are measured. Usually it is a straight line object.
Usage Examples
To find the voltage excited across the width of a slot antenna element; to test whether a voltage exceeds breakdown in a particular dielectric media.
Prerequisites
You must create the line along which the E-field is to be integrated using Draw>Line before you can complete the calculator routine.
