Strip of paraffin-coated paper


A commercial capacitor is to be constructed as shown in the figure below. This particular capacitor is made from two strips of aluminum foil separated by a strip of paraffin-coated paper. Each strip of foil and paper is 6.60 cm wide. The foil is 0.005 00 mm thick, and the paper is 0.030 0 mm thick and has a dielectric constant of 3.70. What length should the strips have if a capacitance of 9.50 10-8 F is desired before the capacitor is rolled up? (Adding a second strip of paper and rolling the capacitor would effectively double its capacitance by allowing charge storage on both sides of each strip of foil.)
