Question
Suppose, one wishes to construct a 1.0 farad capacitor using circular discs. If the separation between the discs be kept at 1.0mm, what would be the radius of the discs?
✓
Answer
Let the radius of the disc = R
$\therefore$ Area $=\pi\text{R}^2$
$\text{C}=1\text{f}$
$\text{D}=1\text{mm}=10^{-3}\text{m}$
$\therefore\text{C}=\frac{\epsilon_0\text{A}}{\text{d}}$
$\Rightarrow1=\frac{8.85\times10^{-12}\times\pi\text{r}^2}{10^{-3}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}^2=\frac{10^{-3}\times10^{12}}{8.85\times\pi}=\frac{10^9}{27.784}$
$=5998.5\text{m}=6\text{Km}$
