What is the capacitance


An air capacitor is made from two flat parallel plates 1.50 mm apart. The magnitude of charge on each plate is 0.0180µC when the potential difference is 200 V.

(a) What is the capacitance?

(b) What is the area of each plate?

(c) What maximum voltage can be applied without dielectric breakdown? (Dielectric breakdown for air occurs at an electric-field strength of 3.0 X 106 v/m.)

(d) When the charge is 0.0180µC, what total energy is stored?
