Question

a parallel plate capacitor 5mm apart and 2msquare in area,the plates are in vaccum, a potential difference of 1000v is applied across the capacitor, calculate capacitance

Answer 1

ANSWER:

Area(A)=2m^2

distance between the capacitor (d)=5mm=5×10^-3

V=1000V

Now ,

using the formula,

C=€°A/d

=8.845×10^-12×2÷(5×10^-3)

=3.538×10^-9
