A homemade capacitor is assembled by placing two 9-in. pie pans 4cm apart and connecting them to the opposite terminals of a 6-V battery.
Part A: Estimate the capacitance.
C= ?? V
Part B: Estimate the charge on each plate.
Q= ?? C
Part C: Estimate the electric field halfway between the plates.
E = V/m
Part D: Estimate the work done by the battery to charge the plates.
W= ?? J
