A capacitor is made of 2 rectangular metal plates with side length of 3cmx6cm separated by a distance of 2.36cm with water in between the plates. The capacitor has a voltage of 110v and is not connected to a battery. (a.) Calculate the capacitance. (b.) What is the new capacitance if we replace water with a new dielectric material with a constant of 3.75 in between the plates? (c.) What is the new voltage? (d.) What is the charge on each plate
Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.
