Question

calculate the charge on plates if the plate area is 100 cm2 , the gap between plates is 10 mm and the scale is reading 1.0 gram.

Answer 1

Answer: The charge on the plates are 88.4 picafarad

Explanation:The equation used in measuring charge in a plate is given as:

C=Q/V =E A/D

Where E= dielectric content

A= Area of plates

d= distance between plates

Using dielectric constant for Air=8.84×10-12F/m

A=100cm2=0.01m2

d=10mm=0.001m

C= 8.84×10-12×0.01/0.001

C= 88.4 picafarad
