What is the unit of the potential flux?

Post by uwestoehr »

I performed a simulation where I used the FluxSolver to calculate the flux from an electrostatic potential (StatElecSolver). To understand the results,

- what is the unit if the result "potential flux"
- what is the recommended input for "Flux Coefficient"?

thanks and regards
Uwe

OK, it should be V*A/m^2 or W/m^2.

However, I still need to know what I can specify as Flux Coefficient. it must be a term describing a constant with the unit A/m.

Edit: the potential times the electric conductivity has the unit A/m but how do I input this for the Flux Coefficient?
