Question

Derive the formula for capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor

Answer 1

Answer:

The capacitance of multiple parallel plate capacitor can be calculated as: where A = Area of each plate; ε0 = Relative Permittivity of a Vacuum = 8.854 × 10-12 F/m; εr = Relative Permittivity of Dielectric; D = Distance between plates; N = Number of Plates.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The definition of capacitance is given by this equation: capacitance C, measured in farads, equals charge Q, measured in coulombs, divided by voltage V, measured in volts. The capacitance is based on the physical characteristics of the capacitor.
