Parallel-plate capacitor – problems and solutions

1. A parallel-plate capacitor has initial capacity C, the permittivity of free space is εo, plate area is A,
distance between plates is d. If the plate area increased by 4 times, the distance between plates becomes
2d and the permittivity of free space is 5εo, what is the final capacity of the parallel-plate capacitor.
Known :
Capacity of capacitor = C
The permittivity of free space = εo
Plate area = A
The distance between plates = d
Wanted : Capacity of the capacitor (C)
Solution :
Initial capacity :
A
C=ε o
d
Final capacity :
4A 20 A A
C=5 ε o =ε o =10 ε o =10 C
2d 2d d

2. Capacitor that have the largest capacity based on the graphic below is...
No Area Distance between plates Dielectric
1 A d K
2 A 2d 2K
3 4A 3d 3K
4 ½A 2d K
5 ¼A d 2K
Solution :
