[QUOTE="phys-lexic, post: 2064291, member: 166170"] the problem is: To make a parallel plate capacitor, you have available two flat plates of aluminum (area = 190 cm2), a sheet of paper (thickness = 0.10 mm, κ = 3.5), a sheet of glass (thickness = 2.0 mm, κ. = 7.0), and a slab of paraffin (thickness = 10.0 mm, κ = 2.0). Find each's capacitance. my answers are: 5.885E-7 farads for paper 5.885E-8 farads for glass 3.363E-9 farads for paraffin ...now the question asks to enter the largest capacitance possible, of the three, in nF and the smallest in pF... -smallest= 3363 pF (paraffin) -largest= 588.5 nF (paper) am i right with my values and just converting wrong or am i totally off... i converted all the values to meters before plugging them into the equation below: *****here is the equation i am using***** (capacitance) = ((epsilon not)x(A)x(k)) / (d=thickness?)
