An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor has a capacitance of 2.7 pF. The separation of the plates is doubled and wax is inserted between them. The new capacitance is 5.4 pF. Find the dielectric constant of the wax. __________ (please show units in your calculations so that I can follow the work easier)
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.
