The question i need help with is as follows: Capactior with dielectric (parallel plate capacitor) (a) What thickness should be the thickness of thepyrex glass if the capacitance is to be .10 microfarads. Given: Area=.50 meters squared C= .10 microfarads - The dielectric fills the entire spacebetween the plates The question i need help with is as follows: Capactior with dielectric (parallel plate capacitor) (a) What thickness should be the thickness of thepyrex glass if the capacitance is to be .10 microfarads.

Explanation / Answer
Hi, We have the Capacitance C = koA/d Then thickness of the slab will be d =koA/C For glass, dielectric constant k = 5.6 o =8.85*10-12C2/Nm2 Then d =(5.6)(8.85*10-12C2/Nm2)(0.5m2)/(0.1*10-6F) =247.8*10-6m =0.2478mm hope this helps you. Then d =(5.6)(8.85*10-12C2/Nm2)(0.5m2)/(0.1*10-6F) =247.8*10-6m =0.2478mm hope this helps you.
