A nervous physicist worries that the two metal shelves of his wood frame bookcase might obtain a high voltage if charged by static electricity, perhaps produced by friction. a) What is the capacitance of the empty shelves if they have area 1.05 m² and are 0.209 m apart? F b) What is the voltage between them if opposite charges of magnitude 1.5 nC are placed on them? V c) To show that this voltage poses a small hazard, calculate the 1. J energy stored.
