The dielectric to be used in a parallel-plate capacitor has a dielectric constant of 3.50 and a dielectric strength of 1.20x10^7 V/m. The capacitor must have a capacitance of 1.65 nF and must be able to withstand a maximum potential difference of 6.5 kV. What is the minimum area the plates of the capacitor may have?
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.
