Engineering Electromagnetics

This document describes how to use MATLAB's PDE Toolbox to solve partial differential equations. It provides step-by-step instructions for solving Laplace's equation for electrostatics using the PDE Toolbox GUI. Specifically, it shows how to model a 2D rectangle with different voltage boundaries, specify the PDE and boundary conditions, solve for the voltage potential, and plot the electric field lines and potential contours. The overall purpose is to introduce the reader to using the PDE Toolbox for electrostatics problems.

The PDE Toolbox


The Matlab PDE toolbox provides a user-friendly graphical interface for solving 2-D partial differential equations of functions of space and time Such equations arise in electromagnetics (electrostatics, magnetostatics, quasi-statics), thermal diffusion, structural analysis, etc. The GUI allows the user to draw 2-D cross-sections of objects, specify sources and boundary conditions and compute the variables (electromagnetic fields, temperatures, stresses, etc.). A numerical technique called the Finite Element Method (will not be discussed here) is used to solve the pdes.
