Homework Statement
A parallel-plate capacitor has dimensions 3.5cm x 5.2 cm. The plates are separated by a 1.1-mm thickness of paper (dielectric constant k = 3.7). What is the charge that can be stored on this capacitor, when connected to a 1.5-V battery? (E0 = 8.85 x 10^-12 C^2/Nm^2)
Homework Equations
C=Keo(A/d)
Qmax=(Cdelta)Vmax
The Attempt at a Solution
C=Keo(A/d)=3.7(8.85E-12)(18.2E-4/1.1E-3)
=200E-12 F
Qmax=C(deltaVmax)
=(200E-12)(1.5V)
=300E-12 C
300E-12 C does not seem like the right answer
