  5. The result will be displayed in Farads (F).

Working Principle

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the formula:

C = ε * A / d

Where:

  • C = Capacitance in Farads (F)
  • ε = Permittivity of the dielectric in Farads per meter (F/m)
  • A = Area of the plates in square meters (m²)
  • d = Distance between the plates in meters (m)

This calculator is useful for engineers and physicists who need to calculate the capacitance of parallel plate capacitors for various applications.
