An Ideal Air-Filled Parallel-Plate Capacitor Consists of Plates That Are

question 98

Short Answer

An ideal air-filled parallel-plate capacitor consists of plates that are 1.0 mm apart and have an area of 1.5 × 10^-4 m². The capacitor is connected to a 12-V potential source (battery). (ε₀ = 8.85 × 10^-12 C²/N ∙ m²⁾
(a) What is the capacitance of this capacitor?
(b) How much charge is on each of its plates?
(c) What is the strength of the electric field between the plates?
