An air-filled capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 9.50cm2, separated by a distance of 1.58mm.
a) Calculate the capacitance. Answer in pF
b) If a 25.0-V potential difference is applied to these plates, calculate the charge on each plate. Answer in pC.
c) How much energy, in Joules, is stored then in the capacitor?
d) What if we fill the space between the plates with nylon whose dielectric constant ∈ is 5.8 , what would be the new capacitance in pF?
