Calculate Force between Parallel Plate Capacitors





Formula

The formula to calculate the force between parallel plate capacitors is:

\[ F = \frac{Q^2}{2 \cdot C_{\parallel}} \]

Where:

Definition

Force is the push or pull that occurs between two charged objects, resulting in attraction or repulsion, depending on the nature of the charges.

Charge is a fundamental property of matter that causes objects to experience a force when placed in an electrostatic field.

Parallel plate capacitance is the ability of a system of two parallel plates to store electric charge, commonly used in electronic devices and circuits.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ F = \frac{0.3^2}{2 \cdot 0.018} = 2.5 \text{ N} \]

The force is 2.5 Newtons.
