The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor was measured as 36 pF. Since the surface area of the plates is 2x10-4 m2 and the distance between the plates is 2x10 -4 m, calculate the dielectric constant of the insulator placed between the plates? (E0=9x10-12 F/m)
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.
