Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The area of the plate is 0.12 m2.

The distance between the plates is 0.05 m.

The potential difference applied is 120 V.

Introduction:

The Capacitor is a passive device with two terminal which stores electrical energy in the electrical field. The capacitance of the capacitor depends upon the area of the plate and the gap between them.
