Question

Just want to know how to do this question.  If an uncharged parallel plate capacitor (capacitance C) is connected to a battery, one plate becomes negatively charged as electrons move to the plate face (area A).  In fig. 25-27, the depth d from which the electronss come in the plate in a particular capacitor is plotted against a range of values for the potential difference V of the battery.  The vertical scale is set by ds= 1.00pm, and the horizontal scale is set by Vs= 20.0V (the graph is just a line of the form y=x)..  What is the ratio C/A?

Explanation / Answer

formula is actually: C/A=Density*Qelectron*distance/Voltage 8.49e28*1.6e-19*3.5e-12/40
