Calculating the Spacing Between Capacitor Plates in a Series RC Circuit

Calculating Capacitor Plate Spacing

Capacitance Formula: The spacing between the capacitor plates can be determined using the formula: d = (C * A) / ε

Given Parameters:

  • Capacitance (C): 25.4 * 10^-6 F
  • Area of Plates (A): π * (0.09 m)^2
  • Permittivity (ε): 6.4 * 10^-11 F/m

Calculation:

d = (25.4 * 10^-6 F * π * (0.09 m)^2) / (6.4 * 10^-11 F/m)

Therefore, the spacing between the capacitor plates is approximately 0.004 cm.
