- You need to construct a 100 pF capacitor for a science project. You plan to cut two L x L metal squares and insert small spacers between their corners. The thinnest spacers you have are 0.20 mm thick. What is the proper value of L?arrow_forward8arrow_forwardA certain parallel-plate capacitor is filled with a dielectric for which κ = 6.26. The area of each plate is 0.0573 m2, and the plates are separated by 2.35 mm. The capacitor will fail (short out and burn up) if the electric field between the plates exceeds 164 kN/C.
