Question

I keep getting different answers with each calculation and unsure of where I am going wrong. If possible, please show steps so I may understand where my calculations were incorrect.

(a). What's the capacitance of your capacitor? (the value and unit(s)).

(b). If you disconnect the battery and separate the plates to a distance of 3.50 cm without discharging them, what will be the potential difference between them? (the value and unit(s)).

You make a capacitor by cutting the 17.5-cm-
diameter bottoms out of two aluminum pie plates,
separating them by 3.75 mm , and connecting
them across a 6.00 V battery.
