SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor that includes a third metal plate situated within the air gap. The configuration consists of two parallel plates separated by 10 mm, each with an area of 100 cm², and a third metal plate of thickness 8 mm. To find the capacitance, users are encouraged to show their attempts at a solution before seeking assistance, adhering to the forum's guidelines for homework help.

1. There are two parallel plates with distance between them 10 mm. Square of each plate is 100cm2. The third metal plate of thickness 8mm is situated in parallel inside the air gap. Find capacitance of this
capacitor.

You have to show an attempt at a solution before receiving help here. That's why we put a posting template in the window when you start a new thread in here.
 
Since you are repeatedly ignoring the guidelines,
Physics Forums Global Guidelines said:
Homework Help:
On posting questions: Any and all high school and undergraduate homework assignments or textbook style exercises for which you are seeking assistance are to be posted in the appropriate forum in our Homework & Coursework Questions area. This should be done whether or not the problem is part of one's coursework. The reason for this is that the scientific and mathematical sections of Physics Forums are to be reserved for discussions and not academic assistance. Since graduate level assignments are meant to be more thought provoking (and hence more worthy of discussion), graduate level questions will be allowed in the relevant part of the main section of PF, provided that the graduate student attempts the problem and shows his work. NOTE: You MUST show that you have attempted to answer your question in order to receive help.
