1. A Cylindrical capacitor having a length of 8 cm is made of two concentric rings with an inner radius as 3 cm and outer radius as 6 cm. Find the capacitance of the capacitor.
2. A parallel-plate capacitor is filled with polystyrene of 0.0002 m thickness. Find the plate area if the new capacitance after the insertion is 3.4 µF.
1. The capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor is given as follows:
where , and is vacuum permittivity. Thus, obtain:
2. The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is:
where is the plate area, is the dielectric constant of polystyrene, and is the distance between plates. Expressing , get:
