The open circuit voltage induced across the open point in ring2 is 6.86e-004 V. This equals the
voltage calculated by hand from Z12 in the impedance matrix, as well as that calculated by
integrating the average electric field. This is the complex magnitude of the voltage. The real and
imaginary components can be individually determined by substituting Complex/Imag and
Complex/Real in the steps above. These voltages are: V
2
'(real) = -1.80e-005 and V
2
'(imaginary)
= -6.85e-004 which are nearly the same as the voltage calculated by hand in step 9 above.
