Suppose the capacitor plates have a meaured diameter of (0.210+/-0.001) m and a plate separation of (0.020 +/- 0.001)m. Calculate the capacitance (including uncertainty) of the variable capacitor.
1) Suppose the capacitor plates have a meaured diameter of (0.210+/-0.001) m and a plate separation of (0.020 +/- 0.001)m. Calculate the capacitance (including uncertainty) of the variable capacitor.
2) The separation (d) for the capacitor in Problem 1 is aried and the capacitance is meauresd for 5 separations. Thes points are recorded in the following table:
Note: The Table is in the image.
A) Calculate the reciprocal of the separation and prepare a new table that has the separation, reciprocal of the separation and capacitance. Do not calculate uncertainties for the reciprocal separation.
B)Plot on graph paper the capacitance vs. the reciprocal separation.
C) Determine the slope of this line.
D) Use the diameter of the plates from Problem 1 and the slope from part C of the problem to calculate the value of esub0 from this data.
