Fig. 1. Capacitor with three 4-square-inch plates
Example
Figure 1 shows a capacitor with three 4-square-inch plates, separated by 0.25 inches
of air. Its calculated capacitance is
7.18 picofarads.
If instead of air, glass (dielectric constant 7.8) occupies the gap between the
plates, the calculated capacitance rises to
55.9 picofarads.
