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.
- Calculate the capacitance of the capacitor.
- If this capacitor is connected to 100 V supply, what would be the charge on each plate?
- 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
- Capacitance, C = `(∈_0A)/d`
= `((8.85 xx 10^-12 xx 6 xx 10^-3))/(3 xx 10^-3)`
= 17.7 × 10–12F - Charge, Q = CV
= 17.7 × 10–12 × 100
= 17.7 × 10–10C - New charge Q' = KQ
= 6 × 17.7 × 10–10
= 1.062 × 10–8C

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.]
