A parallel plate capacitor has half the space between its plates, filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant 17 and the other half filled with air as shown in the figure. Assume that the plates are square with sides of length L = 230 cm and that the spacing between them is s = 9.6 mm. Determine the capacitance of the array.
Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.
