Item DISTRIBUTION OF CHARGES ON A 1D ROD AND ON 2D PLATE–LIKE STRUCTURES(2022-02-16) Alkuwafi, Abdulwahhab; Oymak, HüseyinWe have investigated configurational and energetical features of classical identical point charges confined to a one-dimensional (1D) rod and two-dimensional (2D) plate-like geometrical structures. The charges are under the effect of a Coulombic 1/r field. After an introductory brief chapter dealing with the physics of the problem at hand, we have presented a highly detailed literature review about the main subject. What follow are then the numerical and analytical approaches towards the solution of the problem. Then we have presented our outcomes in great detail about the global minimum-energy configurations of charges on a square, on a disk, on an ellipse, and on a 2D ellipsoid. The numerical results reported here are obtained from computa tional simulations which are generally based on force minimization method, with a highly basic application of Monte-Carlo approach.
