The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor in vacuum are 3.70 mm apart and 2.75 m2 in area. When you apply a certain potential difference across the capacitor, the surface charge density on the positive plate is 1.40 * 10-5 C/m2. Calculate (a) the capacitance of the capacitor and (b) the potential difference.
