Abstract

Numerical calculation methods are those which use discrete values or simple functions at small intervals or over small elements as a substitute for continuously changing field values. The first numerical calculation of electric fields is attributed to the work of J.C. Maxwell in 1887. He computed the approximate value of the capacitance for an isolated conducting square by dividing the square (and consequently the charge) into 36 (i.e., 6 × 6) small squares.
