In a parallel-plate capacitor, the two plates each have an area of 0.460 m2 and are spaced 3.00 mm apart. The capacitor is charged to a voltage of 4.00 kV using a power source that is then removed. The gap between the plates is then filled by a dielectric layer. The charge on each plate stays constant at 2.50 kV despite the reduction in the potential difference between the plates. Calculate the initial capacitance value of the system.
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.
