Concept explainers
The gap between the plates and also, the calculated value is achievable or not.
Answer to Problem 67GP
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
Capacitance,
Area,
Formula used:
Capacitance for a parallel plate is
Where,
Calculation:
By using the formula of capacitance for a parallel plate:
Substitute the give values in equation
From the calculate value, the gap would have to be smaller than the radius of a proton. So, this calculated value is not practically achievable.
Conclusion:
The gap between the plates is
