QUESTION:
Problem 25E
A 5.80-µF, parallel-plate, air capacitor has a plate separation of 5.00 mm and is charged to a potential difference of 400 V. Calculate the energy density in the region between the plates, in units of J/m3.
ANSWER:Solution 25E
Step 1:
Energy density of a parallel plate capacitor is given by Uc
Given data:
Potential difference between the plates=400V
Separation between plates=5mm=5x10-3m
Capacitance=5.8µF
