What is the area of plates of 2F parallel capacitor, given that the separation between the plates is 0.5 cm? [You will realise from your answer why ordinary capacitors are in the range of muF or less. However, electrolytic capacitors do have a much larger capacitance (0.1F) because of very minute separation between the conductors.
