Question 1: Capacitance A parallel-plate air capacitor is to store charge of magnitude 270 pC on each plate when the potential difference between the plate is 37 V. 1.1 If the area of each plate is 6.80 cm², what is the separation between the plates? 1.2 If the separation between the two plates is double the value calculated in (1.1), what potential difference is required for the capacitor to store charge of magnitude 270 pC on each plate? 1.3 An ideal air-filled parallel-plate capacitor has round plate and carried a fixed amount of equal but opposite charge on its plate. All the geometric parameters of the capacitor (plate diameter and plate separation) are now doubled. If the original energy stored in the capacitor was E,, how much energy does it now store?
