What else can I help you with?
Doubling the plate area of a capacitor will?
increase the capacitance of the capacitor by a factor of two. This is because capacitance is directly proportional to the area of the plates.
How a capacitor store charge?
by using capacitor plates. The length,area ,thickness and type of the plate determines the amount of charge a capacitor can store.
If you have a parallel plate capacitor of plate area 'A' and plate separation t and having a capacity C and a metallic plate r of area A and of negligible thickness is introduced in the capacitor at a?
Pursuant to Ohms Law, we can deduce that the answer is the square root of Pi divided by C*R+A.
Does increasing the plate area of a capacitor increases the capacitance?
Yes. Increasing the plate area of a capacitor increases the capacitance. The equation of a simple plate capacitor is ...C = ere0(A/D)... where C is capacitance, er is dielectric constant (about 1, for a vacuum), e0 is electric constant (about 8.854 x 10-12 F m-1), A is area of overlap, and D is distance between the plates. (This is only a good estimate if D is small in comparison to A.) Looking at this, you can see that capacitance is proportional to plate area.
How does the basic geometry of a parallel plate capacitor not affect its capacitance?
The basic geometry of a parallel plate capacitor does not affect its capacitance because capacitance is determined by the area of the plates and the distance between them, not their shape or size.
How many square inches are in 10 inch diametr circle?
Area = pi*52 = 78.53981634 square inches
What is the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor with a dielectric of oil-soaked paper The dielectric constant is 3.8 the distance between the plates is 0.00625 inches and the plate area is 0.25?
3.42*10^-11 farad.
Can manufactured 1 fared capacitor?
no, because area of 1 fared capacitor is equal to double area of earth.
A parallel plate capacitor has a plate separation of 1.0 mm How much potential difference can be placed across the capacitor before dielectric breakdown of air occurs?
You need more information than this to find your solution. There will be a a value for the electric field at which point the air will break down. you also need the area of one of the capacitors and the capacitence
A capacitor is a device which stores energy by?
Magic. Look up capacitors on wikipedia!!A capacitor stores electrical charges in its plates.Both wrong. A capacitor stores energy as an electric field developed in the dielectric between its plates. A good dielectric with high permittivity (once called dielectric constant) concentrates this field, allowing more energy to be stored in a capacitor having the same plate area and separation but a dielectric of lower permittivity.
Why capacitance increses in parallel?
To avoid that the plates touch each other. The better the dielectric, the closer the plates can be, thus making the electrostatic field on the opposite plates more intense, which allows for more electrons displaced via the charging circuit to the positive plate and more incomplete atoms (positive charges) left on the negative plate. Remember: Being the dielectric an isolator, there is NEVER current through the capacitor.
How can a capacitor filter the AC and DC?
A capacitor consists of two plates separated from one another by an insulator. These plates are normally thin foil and can be sandwiched around a very thin insulator and wrapped into a small package. Since there is an insulator between the plates, DC connected to the two plates cannot flow as long as you do not exceed the breakdown voltage of the insulator. AC current is a different story. Because the insulator is very thin and the effective plate area is relatively large, a negative charge building up on one plate causes electrons to be repelled from the opposite plate, and as the charge on the first plate reverses and becomes positive, the electrons in the opposite plate are attracted back again. This results in a matching alternating current flow on the opposite side of the capacitor.
