Capacitors and Capacitance problem 6


A two identical and parallel plates capacitor is connected to a voltage of . The distance between the plates is and the area of each plate is . The permittivity of free space is given as .


  • What is the capacitance of the capacitor?

  • How much electric charge can the capacitor store?

  • What is the energy stored in the capacitor?

  • What is the energy stored in the capacitor if the dielectric between the plates is replaced with a glass of relative permittivity 7?

  • How much charge is stored if we now connect another identical capacitor in series with this capacitor without changing the dielectric between the plates?
