Answer to Problem 40P

The capacitance of the capacitor is 59pF_.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Write the expression for the capacitance.

C=εoSd

Substitute 200cm2 for S, 3 mm for d, and 10936πFm1 for εo.

C=(10936πFm1)(200cm2)3mm=(10936πFm1)(200×104m2)3×103m=59×1012F=59pF

Conclusion:

Thus, the capacitance of the capacitor is 59pF_.

(b)

To determine

Calculate the voltage between the plates.

Answer to Problem 40P

The voltage between the plates is 339.3V_.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Consider the expression for the charge density.

ρs=εoVod

Re-arrange the equation.

Vo=ρsdεo

Substitute 1μC/m2 for ρs, 3 mm for d, and 10936πFm1 for εo.

Vo=(1μC/m2)(3mm)10936πFm1=(1×106C/m2)(3×103m)10936πFm1=(1×106FV/m2)(3×103m)10936πFm1{C=FV}=339.3V

Conclusion:

Thus, the voltage between the plates is 339.3V_.

(c)

To determine

Calculate the force with which plates attract each other.

Answer to Problem 40P

The required force is 1.131mN_.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Write the expression for the force.

F=ρs2S2εo

Substitute 200cm2 for S, 1μC/m2 for ρs, and 10936πFm1 for εo.

F=(1μC/m2)2(200cm)22(10936πFm1)=1012C2/m4(200×104)m22(10936πFm1)=1012C2/m4(200×104)m22(10936πC2N1m2){Fm1=C2N1m2}=1.131mN

Conclusion:

Thus, the required force is 1.131mN_.
