A capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 14.1 cm2, separated by a distance of 0.24 cm. The material that fills the volume between the plates has a dielectric constant of 4.30. The plates of the capacitor are connected to a 301 V battery. (a) What is the capacitance of the capacitor. (b) What is the charge on either plate? (c) How much energy is stored in the charged capacitor?
Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.
