Homework Statement
Estimate the required radius of each plate. The plates are separated in air by 0.01mm and has a capacitance of 400pF. There are 4 pairs of plates.
Homework Equations
c= εrε0*A(n-1)/ d
The Attempt at a Solution
Find area. Transposing for AA = dc/εrεo
A= 1*10^-5*400*10^-12/1*8.85*10^-12*7
I am getting 6.457^-27mm.
I am going wrong somewhere, pretty sure the equation is correct though.
