The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are 4 cm wide and 7 cm long. The plates are separated by a 1.7-mm-thick layer of paper. a)Calculate the capacitance of the device (in pF) using the dielectric constant of paper b)Any dielectric material other than a vacuum has a maximum electric field that can be generated in the dielectric material before it physically or chemically breaks down and begins to conduct. This maximum electric field is called dielectric strength. The dielectric...
