The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by:
Where ϵ is the dielectric constant. For air, the value of ϵ is:
ϵ = 8.854 × 10-14 C2/N-cm2
A is the area of the cross-section of the plates
d is the distance between the plates
Calculation:
With d = 0.1 cm, A = 10 cm2, and ϵ = 8.854 × 10-14 C2/N-cm2, the value of capacitance will be:
C = 8.854 × 10-12 F
C = 8.85 pF
