An air-filled capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 7.60 cm2, separated by a distance of 2.20 mm. If a 19.4-V potential difference is applied to these plates, calculate the following. (a) the electric field between the plates magnitude kv/m direction Select-- (b) the capacitance pF (c) 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.
