You still need to address this part...berkeman said:Do you know the formula for the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor in terms of C, epsilon, Area and separation Distance? (ignoring fringe capacitance effects)
C = epsilon * A / dsci0x said:No I don't. What is it?
An electric field is a physical field that is created by an electric charge or a changing magnetic field. It is a vector field, meaning it has both magnitude and direction, and is measured in units of volts per meter (V/m).
An electric field is created by a difference in potential between two points, or by the presence of electric charges. Electric fields can also be created by a changing magnetic field, according to Faraday's law of induction.
A parallel plate capacitor is a device used to store electrical energy by creating an electric field between two conducting plates. It consists of two parallel plates separated by a dielectric material, such as air or a non-conducting material.
The electric field strength between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the distance between the plates. As the distance between the plates increases, the electric field strength decreases, and vice versa.
The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is calculated using the formula C = εA/d, where C is capacitance, ε is the permittivity of the dielectric material, A is the area of the plates, and d is the distance between the plates.
