A parallel-plate, air-gap capacitor has a capacitance of 0.15 ?F. The plates are 0.40 mm apart.
(a) What is the area of each plate?
m2
(b) What is the potential difference between the plates if the positively charged plate has a charge of 2.7 ?C?
V
(c) What is the stored energy?
?J
(d) What is the maximum energy this capacitor can store before dielectric breakdown of the air between the plates occurs?
J
