Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.

My question is, in order to get merely an estimation, does someone know if exists such as similar formula for calculating the capacitance for perimeter unit between the edge th1 of the first layer with the surface (with infinite extension) of the second?
Thank you very much!

The classic formula assumes the electric field is perpendicular to the plane of the plates. Without the device you seem to be mentioning, the field at the edge of both plates actually curves outwards before returning to the plates. In consequence the formula in that case does not predict an accurate answer corresponding to what you will measure with a bridge. The extra plate is called a fringing plate (I think) and is always used for constructing a standard reference capacitor. It has the effect of restoring parallelism to the E field between the plates, a situation for which the formula is valid.
