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
