Problem 57P

A parallel-plate capacitor has plates of area 3.45 × 10-4 m2. What plate separation is required if the capacitance is to be 1630 pF? Assume that the space between the plates is filled with (a) air or (b) paper.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2:-

Here, we have to find the separation required for the capacitance of .

The area of the plate is,

.

.

a)

The space between the plate is filled with air.

The permittivity of air is,

.

We know that,

         

          .

So, the distance must be .
