Calculation of the Electrical Capacitance of a Cube
Abstract
The basic theory of calculation of the capacitance of a given geometrical configuration by the use of subareas is advanced and applied to solve the long-standing problem of the accurate evaluation of the capacitance C of a cube of side a. The best previously published determination is 0.62211a

“We used the method extracted from a previous study (Reitan and Higgins, 1951; Reitan, 1959) to accurately find the charge distribution on the ELDC plates.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
