The use of the energy balance principle for the derivation of current due to a moving flat charge in a one-dimensional system

Abstract

Induction currents due to a moving flat charge of three types (plane charge, charged plate conductor and space charge layer) between parallel plate electrodes were analytically studied by use of the energy balance principle, where both kinetic energy consumption and potential energy gain were taken into account. A problem concerning application of the energy balance principle asserted by Brignell and Evison (1973) has been resolved.
