Chapter 24, Problem 24.4(choose chapter or problem)
Oscilloscopes have parallel metal plates inside them to deflect the electron beam. These plates are called the deflecting plates. Typically, they are squares 3.0 cm on a side and separated by 5.0 mm, with vacuum in between. What is the capacitance of these deflecting plates and hence of the oscilloscope? (Note: This capacitance can sometimes have an effect on the circuit you are trying to study and must be taken into consideration in your calculations.)

ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Given that side of a square = 3.00 cm
Area of the parallel plate capacitor A = 3.00×3.0
