A parallel-plate capacitor has square plates 22cm across on each side, which are separated by 0.50mm. The charge on each plate has a magnitude of 6.0microcoloumb, and the plates maintain a voltage of 5,000V. A) What is the capacitance of this capacitor? B) What is the dielectric constant of the material that fills the space between the plates of this capacitor? Hint: The material is neither air nor vacuum. C) What is the magnitude of the electric field between the plates of this 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.
