Chapter 24, Problem 24.52(choose chapter or problem)
In one type of computer keyboard, each key holds a small metal plate that serves as one plate of a parallel-plate, air- filled capacitor. When the key is depressed, the plate separation decreases and the capacitance increases. Electronic circuitry detects the change in capacitance and thus detects that the key has been pressed. In one particular keyboard, the area of each metal plate is and the separation between the plates is before the key is depressed. (a) Calculate the capacitance before the key is depressed. (b) If the circuitry can detect a change in capacitance of how far must the key be depressed before the circuitry detects its depression?
