Calculate the capacitance of a parallel-...

Calculate the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor having 20 cm xx 20 cm square plates separated by a distance of 1.0 mm.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The capacitance is
`C= epsilon_0A/d`
=8.85 xx 10^(-12) F m^(-1) xx 400 xx 10^(-4) m^2/1 xx 10^(-3) m`
`=3.54 xx 10^(-10) F~~350 pF`.
