### Capacitance and Energy Storage in Capacitors

#### 1. Determine Capacitance and Energy
Choose plate separation: 2.0 mm
Plate area: 100 mm²
Voltage: 0.5 V

What is the value of the capacitance? What is the value of the energy stored?
- Capacitance (C2) = 
- Energy (E2) = 

Verify your answers.

#### 2. Effect of Varying Plate Separation on Capacitance
Repeat the calculation in Step 1 by changing the plate separation to 4, 6, and 8 mm (while keeping the plate area and voltage the same as in Step 1).

- Capacitance with 4 mm separation (C4) =       Energy (E4) =
- Capacitance with 6 mm separation (C6) =       Energy (E6) =
- Capacitance with 8 mm separation (C8) =       Energy (E8) =

#### 3. Effect of Varying Plate Area on Capacitance
Repeat the calculation in Step 1 by changing the plate area to 200, 300, and 400 mm² (while keeping the plate separation and voltage the same as in Step 1).

- Capacitance with 200 mm² plate area (C200) =        Energy (E200) =
- Capacitance with 300 mm² plate area (C300) =        Energy (E300) =
- Capacitance with 400 mm² plate area (C400) =        Energy (E400) =

### Explanation of Concepts

1. **Capacitance (C):** 
   Capacitance is the ability of a system to store an electric charge. For a parallel plate capacitor, the capacitance is given by the formula:
   
   \[
   C = \frac{ε_0 \times A}{d}
   \]

   where \(ε_0\) is the permittivity of free space (8.85 x 10⁻¹² F/m), \(A\) is the area of one of the plates, and \(d\) is the separation between the plates.

2. **Energy (E):**
   The energy stored in a capacitor is given by the formula:
   
   \[
   E = \frac{1}{2} C V^2
