Rank the capacitors by their capacitances from highest to lowest, based on the provided plate radii (r), plate separations (d), and filler materials. Dielectric constants for each material can be found in the table to the right.

Explanation / Answer

Capacitance is given by:

C = k*e0*A/d

for capacitor 1

k = 1 (for air)

C1 = 1*8.85*10^-12*pi*(19.6*10^-3)^2/(11.3*10^-6)

C1 = 9.45*10^-10 F

for capacitor 2

k = 4.5 (for glass)

C2 = 4.5*8.85*10^-12*pi*(16.5*10^-3)^2/(19.6*10^-6)

C2 = 17.37*10^-10 F

for capacitor 3

k = 13.2 (for GaAs)

C3 = 13.2*8.85*10^-12*pi*(6.06*10^-3)^2/(43.4*10^-6)

C3 = 3.1*10^-10 F

From above values:

C2 > C1 > C3
