A three parallel plate capacitor sensor is used to measure the linear displacement. The capacitor sensor has an area of 400mm*500 mm, and 8mm distance between all three plates. If the lower plate is moved up by 2mm with middle and upper plates kept fixed. Calculate, i. The distance between the middle plate to upper plate and middle plate to lower plate. ii. Net capacitance of the capacitor sensor.

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.
