A parallel-plate capacitor has square plates that have edge lengths equal to 1.00×102 cm1.00×102 cm and are separated by 1.00 mm. What is the capacitance of this device? Example 17−7
Added by Samuel D.
Step 1
Edge length of the plates: \[ L = 1.00 \times 10^2 \text{ cm} = 100 \text{ cm} = 1.00 \text{ m} \] Separation between the plates: \[ d = 1.00 \text{ mm} = 1.00 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m} \] Show more…

A parallel-plate capacitor has square plates that have edge lengths equal to $1.00 \times 102 \mathrm{~cm} 1.00 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~cm}$ and are separated by $1.00 \mathrm{~mm}$. What is the capacitance of this device? Example $17-7$
A parallel-plate capacitor has plates of $1.00 \mathrm{~cm}$ by $2.00 \mathrm{~cm}$. The plates are separated by a 1.00-mm-thick piece of paper. What is the capacitance of this capacitor? The dielectric constant for paper is 2.7. Example $17-12$
A parallel-plate capacitor consists of two parallel, square plates having dimensions 1.0 cm by 1.0 cm. The plates are separated by 1.0 mm, and the space between them is filled with Teflon, which has a dielectric constant of 2.1. What is the capacitance of this capacitor? Hint: Straightforward use of the parallel plate expression for capacitance. Standard units!
