Figure 7

Electrical absorption from case 2. The illustration shows half the plane through the symmetry axis. The coordinates are cylindrical where the horizontal axis is denoted r and the vertical axis z. The symmetry axis located at r = 0. The redundant three dimensional solution is obtained by rotating the half plane about the symmetry axis. The electrode is located along the symmetry axis where Z > 0.09. The length scale of the axes is in meters. The absorption of electrical energy is almost evenly distributed along the electrode. Higher absorption occurs at the tip and the endpoint of the electrode isolation.
