26. Similar behavior is expected for more complex geometries subject to their particular force laws. Surface shape and curvature can affect not only the magnitude of the effect but also its character-attractive or repulsive [T. H. Boyer, Phys. Rev. 174, 1764 (1968)]. In general, however, when structures are near enough that their local radii of curvatures are large compared with their separations, the parallel plate approximation holds. 10.1103/PhysRev.174.1764
