Abstract We study the structure of stationary solutions of a micro-electro mechanical system with fringing field. It is known that there is a positive critical value such that no stationary solutions exist for the applied voltage beyond this critical value, at least two stationary solutions exist for the applied voltage below this critical value and there is a unique stationary solution at this critical value. In this paper, we verify that there are exactly two solutions below this critical value analytically. Moreover, the stability of the smaller stationary solutions is derived.
