Capacitance problem (verify answer)

[jayjay112]

Find the capacitance of a parrell plate capacitor in pF with A=0.04 m^2
distance of separation between plates = 2mm relative permittivity of dielectric = 6
and permittivity of free space = 8.854x10^-12


C = (6)(8.854x10^-12)(0.04) / 0.002

= 1.06248x10^-9 F

in pF = 1062.48 pF

Thanks

You had it until you wrote the last answer.

1.062 pF

1.062 pF

But the answer 1.062x10^-9 isn't the same as 1.062x10^ -12 or 1.062 pF

But the answer 1.062x10^-9 isn't the same as 1.062x10^ -12 or 1.062 pF

But 1062 * 10^-12 = 1.062 * 10^-9

10^-12 is pico, so sorry you are right. I confused nano-

But 1062 * 10^-12 = 1.062 * 10^-9

10^-9 is pico.

pico is 10^ -12

Thanks for your help with verifing my results.

Thanks I corrected it.

no problem thanks again
