1 square meter does not contain 100 square centimeters. Rather it contains (100 [cm]) X (100 [cm]) = 10000 square centimeters.
The formula for calculating the area of a parallel plate capacitor is A = ε0εr(d/t), where A is the area, ε0 is the permittivity of free space, εr is the relative permittivity of the material between the plates, d is the distance between the plates, and t is the thickness of the plates.
The area of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to its capacitance. This means that as the area increases, the capacitance also increases. This is because a larger area allows for more charge to be stored between the plates.
Yes, the area of a parallel plate capacitor can be changed after it is constructed. This can be done by adjusting the distance between the plates or by changing the size of the plates themselves. However, these changes may also affect the capacitance and other properties of the capacitor.
The area of a parallel plate capacitor directly affects its ability to store charge. A larger area allows for more charge to be stored between the plates, while a smaller area can only store a limited amount of charge. Therefore, a larger area capacitor has a higher storage capacity compared to a smaller area capacitor.
Some factors that can affect the accuracy of calculating the area of a parallel plate capacitor include measurement errors in determining the distance between the plates and the thickness of the plates, variations in the permittivity of the material between the plates, and any irregularities in the shape of the plates.
