Parallel Plate Capacitor

Capacitance is the ability of a system to store an electric charge. The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is calculated using the formula:

C = ε₀ * εr * A / d, where:

• ε₀ is the permittivity of free space (8.854 x 10⁻¹² F/m)
• εr is the relative permittivity of the dielectric material
• A is the area of the plates (constant: 400 mm²)
• d is the distance between the plates (constant: 2 mm)

Relative Permittivity (εr):
