Question:

capacitance physics problem?

A science-fair radio uses a homemade capacitor made of two 30 cm x 30 cm sheets of aluminum foil separated by a 0.30-mm-thick sheet of paperAssume dielectric constant of paper is 3.0.What is its capacitance?Answer should be in F THANKS! :)

Answer:

I think its history is based with ItalyIt is essentially an Italian dish/recipe known to most of us as a 'Frittata' Kookoo Sabzi is an Iranian Dish based on that concept I thinkKookoo meaning 'Vegetable Souffle'Would recommend looking up the history of how the Italians came up with the frittata and how the Iranians used that conceptOR I COULD BE COMPLETELY WRONG!
Parallel plate cap C ε?ε?(A/d) in Farads ε? is 8.854e-12 F/m ε? is dielectric constant (vacuum 1) A and d are area of plate in m? and separation in m C (8.854e-12)(3)(0.3)? / (0.0003) you can do the rest
