Effect of electrode shape on electric field strength. Electrostatic analysis: The mica has dimensions of 0.1 m × 0.1 m (a: mica substrate) and the water 0.1 m×0.1 m×0.03 m (b: water). The electrodes are placed on the bottom surface of mica and the gap between electrodes is 0.080 mm. When the peak to peak voltage of Vpp = 10 is applied, the streamline of electric field vector is shown in (c). Electric field for various electrode shapes: The red arrows represent the magnitude and direction of electric field in the space of water. The effect of electrode geometry on the electric field is investigated for the electrode angles of parallel 0° (d), 30° (e), 45° (f), 60° (g), in 2D; parallel 0° (h), 30° (i), 45° (j), 60° (k) in 3D.
