Your distance value doesn't look right; check your units conversion. Since you're looking for the plate area anyways, why involve the square of the side length when you can solve directly for the area?warnexus said:Homework Statement
Homework Equations
capacitance = charge/volt
capacitance = Esub0 (side of parallel plates^2)/(distance apart)
The Attempt at a Solution
capacitance = (3*10^-6 C)/(150v)
capacitance = 2 * 10 ^ - 8 F
2 * 10 ^ - 8 F = (8.85 * 10 ^ -12)(side of parallel plate) ^ 2/(.90 *10^-2)

The formula for finding the area of a plate is length x width. This formula assumes that the plate is a rectangle or square shape. If the plate is a different shape, such as a circle, a different formula needs to be used.
The area of a plate is typically measured in square units, such as square inches, square feet, or square meters. These units represent the amount of space that is covered by the plate's surface.
Yes, in order to accurately find the area of a plate, you will need to know the exact measurements of the length and width. This can be done by using a ruler or measuring tape.
Yes, the area of a plate can still be calculated even if the plate is not a perfect shape. This can be done by breaking the plate into smaller, more manageable shapes and finding the area of each shape. Then, the areas can be added together to find the total area of the plate.
Finding the area of a plate is important for various reasons. It can help determine the amount of material needed to cover the plate, such as paint or fabric. It can also be useful in calculating the cost of the plate or determining how much food can fit on the plate.
