A capacitor consists of two similar square aluminum plates, each 10 cm x 10 cm mounted parallel and opposite to each other. What is their capacitance when distance between them is 1 cm and the dielectric is air ? If the capacitor is given a charge of 500 pC, what will be the difference of potential between plates ? How will this be affected if the space between the plates is filled with wax which has a relative permittivity of 4 ?
