A parallel-plate capacitor has a capacitance of 1.97 pf and a plate area of 5.86 cm2. What is the separation distance between the plates?
Added by Carla G.
Step 1
We know the formula for capacitance: $C = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}$, where $C$ is the capacitance, $\epsilon_0$ is the vacuum permittivity, $A$ is the plate area, and $d$ is the separation distance between the plates. Show more…
