QUESTION:

The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are 3.28 mm apart, and each has an area of \(12.2\mathrm{\ cm}^2\). Each plate carries a charge of magnitude \(4.35\times 10^{-8}\mathrm{\ C}\). The plates are in vacuum.

(a) What is the capacitance?

(b) What is the potential difference between the plates?

(c) What is the magnitude of the electric field between the plates?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by $C=\frac{\epsilon{}{\ }_{0}A}{d}$ , where ${\epsilon{}}_{0}$ is vacuum permittivity, $A$ is the area of each plate and $d$ is the separation between the plates.

Given, $d=3.28\ mm=3.28\times{}10{\ }^{-3}\ m$

Area $A=12.2\ cm{\ }^{2}=12.2\times{}10{\ }^{-4}\ m{\ }^{2}$

$\epsilon{}{\ }_{0}=8.85\times{}10{\ }^{-12}\ F/m$

Since H30+ is much closer in size to water than is glycerol, what do y
