- The parallel plates of a capacitor have an area of 0.15 m2 and are separated by 1 mm in air. i) What is the capacitance? ii) If the distance is doubled, what would be the new capacitance? iii) How is the capacitance modified if a dielectric of K=2 is added between the plates?arrow_forwarda) A capacitor consists of two parallel metal plates immersed in a high-dielectric liquid, chloro- cyclohexane (e = 30). When the separation of the plates is 1mm, the capacitance is 0.06 F. Initially it is charged, at 500 V. Assume that 0 = 8.85 x 10-12 Fm-1. i) == Use this information to calculate the area of the plates, and the charge and the energy stored. ii) The plates are now pulled apart, to a gap of 1cm. Calculate the voltage it is now at, the energy now stored, and the force required to pull the plates apart.arrow_forward
