i have done the capacitance of an isolated charged sphere (=4 pi E R).but can we find capacitance of an isolated ,infinite charged plate too??how?
Capacitance is the ability of a capacitor to store electric charge. It is measured in farads (F) and is determined by the physical characteristics of the capacitor, such as the distance between the plates, the area of the plates, and the type of material used for the plates.
Capacitance can be calculated using the equation C = εA/d, where C is the capacitance, ε is the permittivity of the material between the plates, A is the area of the plates, and d is the distance between the plates. For an isolated metal plate, the capacitance is calculated as C = εA/2d.
An isolated metal plate is a flat, conductive surface that is not connected to any other electrical components or sources. It is often used in experiments to study the principles of capacitance and electric fields.
Yes, capacitance of an isolated metal plate can be measured using a capacitance meter or by connecting the plate to a circuit and measuring the charge stored on the plate.
The capacitance of an isolated metal plate is directly proportional to the size of the plates. This means that as the plate area increases, the capacitance also increases. This relationship is described by the equation C = εA/2d, where A is the area of the plates.
