A certain parallel-plate capacitor consists of two plates, each with area 2.00 x 102cm2, and separated by a gap of 0.400 cm. (Assume air as the dielectric material.) a) What is the capacitance of this capacitor? b) If the capacitor is connected across a 500.0 V source, what charge will it hold? c) What is the magnitude of the electric field between the plates of the capacitor? (under the conditions of part b)?
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.
