Hello,

A Basic Question:

Two paralle long coupled traces on a PCB have lets say mutual capacitance of Cx.

Say one trace is open ended at one end and connected to GND Via at the the other end. Now if somehow I remove that GND connection at the top, will the two conductors will still have a mutual capacitance ?

In a nutshell is there any capacitance loading of a PCB track with a neighbouring floating track ??

Thanks
Ahmad
