Problem 2:  A parallel plate capacitor has a charge on one plate of q = 1.4E-06 C. Each square plate is d1 = 2.6 cm wide and the plates of the capacitor are separated by d2 = 0.55 mm. The gap is filled with air, εo = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/Nm2. Part (a)  What is the voltage between the plates, ΔV, in V?   Part (b)  What plate width would double this voltage, in centimeters?
