Problem 5 Consider a parallel-plate capacitor with a plate area of A = 8.50 cm². The separation between the plates is d₂ = 3.00 mm (the space between the plates is filled with air). The plates of the capacitor are charged by a 6.00 V battery, i.e., the potential difference between the plates is V₂ = 6.00 V.
