प्रश्न

In a parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates, each plate has an area of 6 × 10−3m2 and the separation between the plates is 3 mm.

  1. Calculate the capacitance of the capacitor.
  2. If this capacitor is connected to 100 V supply, what would be the charge on each plate?
  3. How would charge on the plates be affected, if a 3 mm thick mica sheet of k = 6 is inserted between the plates while the voltage supply remains connected?

उत्तर

Here, A = 6 × 10–3m2, d = 3 mm = 3 × 10–3m

  1. Capacitance, C = `(∈_0A)/d`
    = `((8.85 xx 10^-12 xx 6 xx 10^-3))/(3 xx 10^-3)`
    = 17.7 × 10–12F
  2. Charge, Q = CV
    = 17.7 × 10–12 × 100
    = 17.7 × 10–10C
  3. New charge Q' = KQ
    = 6 × 17.7 × 10–10
    = 1.062 × 10–8C

In a parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates, each plate has an area of 6 × 10−3 m2 and the distance between the plates is 3 mm. Calculate the capacitance of the capacitor. If this capacitor is connected to a 100 V supply, what is the charge on each plate of the capacitor?


What is the area of the plates of a 2 F parallel plate capacitor, given that the separation between the plates is 0.5 cm? [You will realize from your answer why ordinary capacitors are in the range of µF or less. However, electrolytic capacitors do have a much larger capacitance (0.1 F) because of very minute separation between the conductors.]


A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed with a voltage rating 1 kV, using a material of dielectric constant 3 and dielectric strength about 107 Vm−1. (Dielectric strength is the maximum electric field a material can tolerate without breakdown, i.e., without starting to conduct electricity through partial ionisation.) For safety, we should like the field never to exceed, say 10% of the dielectric strength. What minimum area of the plates is required to have a capacitance of 50 pF?
