उत्तर
The area of the plates of the capacitor is given by
`A = 20 "cm" xx 20 "cm" = 400 "cm"^2`
⇒ `A = 4 xx 10^-2 "m"`
The separation between the parallel plates is given by
`d = 1 "m" = 1 xx 10^-3 "m"`
Here, the thickness of the dielectric is the same as the separation between the parallel plates.
Thus, the capacitance is given by
`C = (∈_0Ak)/d = ((8.85 xx 10^-12) xx (4 xx 10^-2) xx 4)/10^-3 = 1.42 "nF"`
