//chapter 7 //example 7.2 //Calculate the resultant voltage across the capacitor //page 187 clear; clc; //given A=650; // in mm^2 (cross-sectional area) d=4; // in mm (seperation between plates) Eo=8.85E-12; // in F/m (absolute permittivity) Er=3.5; // di-electric constant of the material Q=2E-10; // in C (charge on plates) //calculate A=A*1E-6; // changing unit from mm^2 to m^2 d=d*1E-3; // changing unit from mm to m C=Er*Eo*A/d;// calculation of capacitance V=Q/C; // calculation of charge printf('\nThe capacitance of capacitor is \t C=%1.2E C',C); C=C*1E12; // changing unit of capacitance from F to pF printf('\n\t\t\t\t\t =%.2f pF',C); printf('\n\nThe resultant voltage across the capacitor is \t V=%.2f V',V); // NOTE: The answer is wrong due to calculation mistake. The mistake is that in the book Value of cross-sectional area and seperation // between plates is considered in cm and di-electric constant has not been considered.
