a parallel plate capacitor with a plate area of 18 cm^2 and air in the space between the plates which are seperated by 2.9 mm is connected to a 16 Volt battery. If the plates are pulled back so that the seperation increases to 5.1 mm how much work is done?
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.

Given:
The surface area of the plate is 18 cm2 = 0.0018 m2. { 1 cm2 = 10-4 m2
The initial separation between plates is 2.9 mm = 0.0029 m. { 1 mm = 0.001 m
The final separation between plates is 5.1 mm = 0.0051 m.
The supply voltage is 16 V.
