A parallel-plate capacitor is made up of 11 metal plates each of area 15 `cm^(2)` separated by sheets of mica of realative permittivity 6 and thickness 0.2 mm, the altemate plates being joined together. Calculate the capacitance of the capacitor in microfarad.
[Hint: There will be (n-1) similar parallel plate capactions of capacitance `(epsilon_(0)epsilon_(r)A)/(d)`
`thereforeC=(n-1)(epsilon_(0)epsilon_(r)A)/(d)]`
