Please answer a and b.

A capacitive displacement transducer is designed to determine the rotary position
from 0°→180° as shown in Figure Q3. The moving plate whose radius is 40mm is
sandwiched between two fixed plates, spacing at 1mm. The dielectric constant of
air is k = 1.The capacitive transducer is formulated as:
C =
farads
d
where;
dielectric constant
A = the area of the plate, in square meters
€o = 8.854 x 10¬12 in farads per meter
d = the plate spacing in meters
k
(a)
Produce an equation of the change of the capacitance (F) when the moving
plate is rotated from 0°→180°. (Hint: The circle area.)
(b)
Calculate the capacitance if the rotational angle is at 90°.
