AI Generated Solution

To calculate the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, we can use the formula: \[ C = \frac{A \epsilon_0}{d} \] where: - \( C \) is the capacitance, - \( A \) is the area of one of the plates, - \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space (approximately \( 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{F/m} \)), ...
