calculate the electric capacitance of parallel plate capacitor?
Answers
Answer:
- capacitance = eo A/ d
- it is the capacitance formula
Explanation:
We know that we can give a certain amount of charge to a plate. If we supply more charge, the potential increases and it could lead to a leakage in the charge. If we get another plate and place it next to this positively charged plate, then negative charge flows towards the side of this plate which is closer to the positively charged plate.
As both the plates have charges, the negative charge on plate 2 will reduce the potential difference on plate 1. On the other hand, the positive charge on plate 2 will increase the potential difference on plate 1. But the negative charge on plate 2 will have more impact. So, more charge can be given on plate 1. Because of the negative charges on plate 2 the potential difference will be less. This is the principle of the parallel plate capacitor.
