Question
49. (II) A homemade capacitor is assembled by placing two 9-in. pie pans 5 cm apart and connecting them to the opposite terminals of a 9-V battery. Estimate (a) the capacitance. (b) the charge on each plate, (c) the electric field halfway between the plates, and (d) the work done by the battery to charge the plates, (e) Which of the above values change if a dielectric is inserted?
Solution
The first step in solving 17 problem number 49 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: 49. (II) A homemade capacitor is assembled by placing two 9-in. pie pans 5 cm apart and connecting them to the opposite terminals of a 9-V battery. Estimate (a) the capacitance. (b) the charge on each plate, (c) the electric field halfway between the plates, and (d) the work done by the battery to charge the plates, (e) Which of the above values change if a dielectric is inserted?
From the textbook chapter Electric Potential you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
