Problem 67GP

(II) To get an idea how big a farad is, suppose you want to make a 1-F air-filled parallel-plate capacitor for a circuit you are building. To make it a reasonable size, suppose you limit the plate area to 1.0 cm2 What would the gap have to be between the plates? Is this practically achievable?

(II) To get an idea how big a farad is, suppose you want to make a 1-F air-filled parallel-plate capacitor for a circuit you are building. To make it a reasonable size, suppose you limit the plate area to 1.0 cm2 What would the gap have to be between the plates? Is this practically achievable?

ANSWER:

Step-by-step solution

Step 1 of 2

We are going to find the plate separation of a capacitor having

Capacitance of the capacitor

The area of the plates

The electric permittivity of free space

The gap between the  the plates
