Capacitance of Parallel Plate Capacitor Calculator

Calculate Capacitance







Formula

The formula to calculate the Capacitance of a Parallel Plate Capacitor given its relative permittivity, area of plates, and distance between plates is:

Capacitance=Relative PermittivityPermittivity of VacuumArea of PlatesDistance between Plates

Definition

The Parallel Plate Capacitance is the ability of a system of two parallel plates to store electric charge, commonly used in electronic devices and circuits. The Relative Permittivity is a measure of the ability of a material to store electric charge and is a critical parameter in electrostatics. The Area of Plates is the total surface area of the plates in an electrostatic system, which affects the capacitance and electrostatic energy. The Distance between Deflecting Plates is the separation between two plates in an electrostatic setup, used to measure the deflection of charged particles.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

Capacitance=4.58.85E121300000.0002870.0180392farads

The Capacitance is approximately 0.0180392 farads.
