parallel-plate capacitor filled with air has plates of area 6.5×10−3 m2 and a separation of 0.32 mm. a) Find the magnitude of the charge on each plate when the capacitor is connected to a 11-V battery. (Q = ? nC) b) Why does answer A decrease if the seperation between the plates increases? c) Calculate the magnitude of the charge on the plates if the separation is 0.90 mm. (Q = ? nC)
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.
