Check Your Understanding The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is 2.0 pF. If the area of each plate is 2.4 cm2, what is the plate separation?
An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor with capacitance C0 stores charge Q on plates separated by distance d. The potential difference across the plates is V0 and the energy stored is PEC,0.
