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.
