The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are 2.50 mm apart, and each carries a charge of magnitude 8.0 x 10-8 C. The plates are in vacuum and the electric field between them has a magnitude of 4.0 x 106 V/ m. a). What is the potential difference between the plates? b). What is the area of each plate? c). What is its capacitance?
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.
