Chapter 20.10, Problem 20.9QQ
If you have ever tried to hang a picture or a mirror, you know it can be difficult to locate a wooden stud in which to anchor your nail or screw. A carpenter’s stud finder is a capacitor with its plates arranged side by side instead of facing each other as shown in Figure 20.32. When the device is moved over a stud, does the capacitance (a) increase or (b) decrease?
