Filling a Capacitor with Dielectric Material#
An air-filled capacitor is made from two flat parallel plates \({{params_d }} \textrm{ mm}\) apart. The inside area of each plate is \({{params_a }} \rm\ cm^2\).
Part 1#
What is the capacitance of this set of plates? Enter your answer in units of pF.
Answer Section#
Please enter a numeric value.
Part 2#
If the region between the conductors is filled with a material whose dielectric constant is \({{params_k }}\), what is the new capacitance? Enter your answer in units of pF.
Answer Section#
