Question

A capacitor can be made from two sheets of aluminum foil separated by a sheet of waxed paper. If the sheets of aluminum are 0.150 m by 0.230 m and the waxed paper, of slightly larger dimensions, is of thickness 0.0700 mm and dielectric constant κ = 2.50, what is the capacitance of the capacitor? nF

Step 1

First, we need to find the area of the aluminum sheets. The area A is given by: A = length × width = 0.150 m × 0.230 m = 0.0345 m² Show more…
