The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor by the Schwartz-Christoffel transformation

AN EXACT method of calculating the capacitance of a parallel-plate air condenser, taking into account its fringing effect, has been suggested by J. J. Thomson

and more completely worked out by A. E. H. Love.

The purpose of this paper is to promote familiarity with this mathematical technique by making it more readily accessible to American engineers. In addition to the exact method, a number of approximate methods are included.
