Two 5.0 cm Ă— 5.0 cm metal plates are separated by a 0.18 mm thick piece of Teflon. What is the capacitance? What is the maximum potential difference between the disks?
Added by Juan Carlos C.
Step 1
The formula for the capacitance (C) of a parallel plate capacitor is given by: C = ε0 * εr * A / d where: ε0 = permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10^-12 F/m εr = relative permittivity of Teflon = 2.1 A = area of one plate = length * width = 5.0 cm * 5.0 cm = 25 Show more…

Two 4.6-cm diameter metal disks are separated by a 0.21-mm thick piece of paper. (Dielectric constant for paper is Îşpaper = 3.7, its dielectric strength is 16 Ă— 10^6 V/m.) Part A: What is the capacitance? Express your answer using two significant figures. Part B: What is the maximum potential difference between the disks? Express your answer using two significant figures.
