Question
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 $17-12$
Step 1
So, the dimensions of the plates are $0.01 \, \text{m} \times 0.02 \, \text{m}$ and the separation between the plates is $0.001 \, \text{m}$. 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 that has a plate separation of $0.50 \mathrm{~cm}$ is filled halfway with a slab of dielectric material ( ? is $5.0$ ) (Figure 17-34). If the plates are $1.25 \mathrm{~cm}$ by $1.25 \mathrm{~cm}$ in area, what is the capacitance of this capacitor? Example $17-12$
What is the dielectric constant of the material that fills the gap between a parallel-plate capacitor with plate area of $20.0 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$ and plate separation of $1.00 \mathrm{~mm}$ if the capacitance is measured to be $0.0142 \mu \mathrm{F}$ ? Example $17-12$
