Question

  Two parallel plates are charged with +Q and –Q respectively as shown in the figure, where Q = 28 nC. The area of each plate is A = 0.011 m2. The distance between them is d = 9.6 cm. The plates are in the air.

A. With the information given, write the equation of the capacitance in terms of ε0Ad

B.Solve for the numerical value of C in pF. 

C.With the information given, express the potential difference across the capacitor in terms of Q and C

D.Solve for the numerical value of ΔV in V. 

E. If the charges on the plates are increased to 2Q, what is the value of the capacitance C in pF? 

F.  If A is then increased to 2Ad is decreased to d/4, what is the value of the capacitance C in pF? 

G. What is the new value of potential difference ΔV in V with the original charge Q, given the values for A and d from part (f)?
