Homework Statement


An AA battery (1.5 V potential) is connected to a parallel-plate capacitor having 6.00cm-diameter plates spaced 4mm apart. How much charge does the battery move from one plate to the other?

Homework Equations


V=Q/C
C=A[tex]\kappa[/tex][tex]\epsilon[/tex]/d


The Attempt at a Solution


Plugged in values:
C = (.03)2*(8.85*10-12)/.004 = 1.99*10-12
Q = 1.5V * 1.99*10-12f
