How much charge is stored on two parallel-plate capacitors by the 12V battery if one is filled with air and the other is filled with a dielectric (k=3.00)

Sagot :

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

how much charge is stored on the parallel-plate capacitors by the 12.0 V battery? One is filled with air, and the other is filled with a dielectric for which k = 3.00; both capacitors have a plate area of 5.00×10 −3  m 2  and a plate separation of 2.00 mm.

The capacitance of the capacitor is the quantity of charge stored by the capacitor.

Given that;

C1= εo k * A/d

εo = permittivity of free space

C1 = 8.85 x 10-12 farad per meter *1 * 5.00×10 −3  m 2/2 * 10^-3

= 2.21 * 10^-11 F

C2 = 8.85 x 10-12 * 3 * 5.00×10 −3  m 2/2 * 10^-3

= 6.63 * 10^-11 F

q1 = C1V1 = 2.21 * 10^-11 C * 12 V

= 2.65 * 10^-10 C

q2 = C2V2 = 6.63 * 10^-11 F * 12 V

= 7.96 * 10^-10 C

qtotal = 2.65 * 10^-10 C + 7.96 * 10^-10 C

qtotal = 1.061 * 10^-9C
