Some new results are presented concerning the forces between two equal circular electrodes of finite thickness. For close electrodes different scenarios result, depending on the thickness and on the ratio of charges of the conductors. Attractive or repulsive forces can appear depending on the parameters and on the separation of the electrodes. The force between the electrodes can be non monotonic as a function of the distance and one or more equilibrium points can appear.

Abstract

Some new results are presented concerning the forces between two equal circular electrodes of finite thickness. For close electrodes different scenarios result, depending on the thickness and on the ratio of charges of the conductors. Attractive or repulsive forces can appear depending on the parameters and on the separation of the electrodes. The force between the electrodes can be non monotonic as a function of the distance and one or more equilibrium points can appear. A unified description of cylindrical systems using a high precision method based on a Galerkin expansion is given and we check our results with a quite accurate boundary element method (BEM).
