    Parallel Plate Capacitor and Dielectrics

    I have a lab to do tomorrow with this topic. Just wondering if anyone can tell me a brief summary of what this is about and what I should be looking to accomplish/learn

    How Does Gauss's Law Change in Dielectric Materials?

    Hey everyone, this is my first question on here, but I've seen you all be very helpful to others to I was hoping someone could clarify something for me. 1. How does Gauss law modify in dielectric materials?

    How Does Changing Plate Separation Affect Energy Stored in a Capacitor?

    I need some help with these problems: 1) A parallel-plate vacuum capacitor has 7.36 J of energy stored in it. The separation between the plates is 3.64 mm. If the separation is decreased to 1.40 mm, what is the energy stored if the following events occur? a) the capacitor is disconnected from...

    How Much Energy Can a Custom Car Capacitor Store?

    I am supposed to design an energy storage system for a car, so I want to calculate how much energy can be stored in a capacitor whose geometry matches the car. As a baseline, we have an area 150 cm wide by 2500 cm long by 30 cm tall. The capacitor is a sandwich geometry , one layer of...
