Electric Potential
The
Electric Potential
node provides an electric potential
V
0
as the boundary condition
V
=
V
0
.
Because the electric potential is being solved for in the physics interface, the value of the potential is typically defined at some part of the geometry. For some physics interfaces, also select additional
Electric Potential
nodes from the
Edges
(3D components) or
Points
(2D and 3D components) submenus. For 2D axisymmetric components, it can be applied on the symmetry axis.
Boundary, Edge, or Point Selection
Beware that constraining the potential on edges or points in 3D or on points in 2D usually yields a current outflow that is mesh dependent.
