A parallel-plate capacitor is made from two aluminum foilsheets, each 3.6 cm long and 5.4 cm wide. The two sheets areseparated by a distance of 0.028 mm.
1) What is the absolute value of the charge on the plate withthe lower voltage?
qlower =
2) Now a piece of teflon with a dielectric constant of κ = 2.1is inserted to fill the space between the plate. What is thecapacitance of the capacitor with the teflon inserted?
C =
3) If a potential difference of 1 volts is applied as beforeacross the two plates of this capacitor, what is the absolute valueof the charge on the plate with the higher voltage with the tefloninserted?
qhigher =
