An electronics technician wishes to build a parallel plate capacitor. If the area of the plates is 1.00 cm2 , (a.) how far apart should the plates be so that capacitance produced is 88.5 pF?    (b.) if a dielectric with κ = 1.53 is placed between the plates, what would be a capacitance produced? [Use plates separation calculated in (a.)].
