Capacitance of Parallel Plate Capacitor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Parallel Plate Capacitance = (Dielectric Constant*[Permitivity-vacuum]*Area of Plates)/Distance between Two Masses
C_∥ = (K*[Permitivity-vacuum]*A_plate)/r
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

[Permitivity-vacuum] - Permittivity of vacuum Value Taken As 8.85E-12

Variables Used

Parallel Plate Capacitance - (Measured in Farad) - Parallel Plate Capacitance is the ratio of the amount of electric charge stored on a conductor to a difference in electric potential for the configuration where charges reside in two parallel plates.
Dielectric Constant - The Dielectric Constant of a material is the ratio of its permittivity of the material to the permittivity of a vacuum.
Area of Plates - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of plates or the n-type or p-type region is the area where a particular amount of electric charges are stored.
Distance between Two Masses - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between two masses is the separation of two masses located in space by a definite distance.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dielectric Constant: 4.5 --> No Conversion Required
Area of Plates: 400 Square Millimeter --> 0.0004 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Distance between Two Masses: 1200 Millimeter --> 1.2 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_∥ = (K*[Permitivity-vacuum]*A_plate)/r --> (4.5*[Permitivity-vacuum]*0.0004)/1.2

Evaluating ... ...

C_∥ = 1.3275E-14

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.3275E-14 Farad --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.3275E-14 ≈ 1.3E-14 Farad <-- Parallel Plate Capacitance

What is Parallel Plate Capacitor?

Parallel Plate Capacitors are formed by an arrangement of electrodes and insulating material or dielectric. A parallel plate capacitor can only store a finite amount of energy before dielectric breakdown occurs. It can be defined as, when two parallel plates are connected across a battery, the plates are charged and an electric field is established between them, and this setup is known as the parallel plate capacitor.
