1. The region of a non-uniform electric or magnetic field that extends beyond the main field boundaries, typically occurring at the edges of capacitors, magnets, or other field-generating devices
The fringe field at the edge of the capacitor plates affects the distribution of electric potential.
O campo de franja na borda das placas do capacitor afeta a distribuição do potencial elétrico.
2. In optics and diffraction, the weak field regions surrounding the primary diffraction pattern
Fringe fields must be considered when designing precision optical systems.
Os campos de franja devem ser considerados ao projetar sistemas ópticos de precisão.
