    Solving Simple Transposition Problem for Charge Separation in Air

    Hey, thanks for the fast reply but I am not sure I understand what you are saying. Can you verify if all the steps of the transposition are correct, or if they are what error I have made? Thanks again

    Solving Simple Transposition Problem for Charge Separation in Air

    Homework Statement I am trying to tranpose a given value but it seems I am getting the wrong answer what ever route I am taking, please can someone correct me. The question is Two point charges A and B have values of 5x10^-6C and 7x10^-6C. Calculate the separation (R) when the force between...

    Parallel Plate Capacitor Question (Many Attempts)

    Ok guys thanks for the quick and helpfull response (is there a rep+ button?) you pointed out some mistakes for me, I've gone on and finished the question, I am unsure of a few units though. Here it is from iv) iv) E=v/d E=110/2x10^-6 E=5.5x10^7 v) E=1/2CV^2 E=1/2(1.2x10^-6)(110)^2...

    Parallel Plate Capacitor Question (Many Attempts)

    I have tried this set of questions which is from i-vii, I believe I am going wrong at a certain stage, as at question vi, the voltage is clearly wrong, below is the questions and my attempt. Sorry for the long post, any help on pointing out where I have gone wrong would be much appreciated...

    What is the Capacitance of a Parallel Plate Capacitor with a Dielectric Sheet?

    Ok so I have changed all units to mks and using the equation (relative permittivity)x(permitivity of free space)x(area of plate)^2 ______________________________________________________ (seperation between plates) = εo x εr x A _________ d = 6 x...

    What is the Capacitance of a Parallel Plate Capacitor with a Dielectric Sheet?

    Hey, and thanks for the fast response, thanks for pointing out my error, needed to convert the squared number thanks, its 0.0452m^2. What are you referring to when you say convert to "mks"? Thanks, is the equation on the right lines, or I am on the wrong track? I am fairly new to the course...

    What is the Capacitance of a Parallel Plate Capacitor with a Dielectric Sheet?

    A parallel plate capacitor is defined of two circular plates with a radius of 12cm, it is separated by a dielectric sheet with a thickness of 2 microns (um) and relative permittivity of 6. It is charged with a potential difference of 110V. The area of one plate I found is A=pie*R^2 =...
