Question:

A commercial capacitor is to be constructed as shown in Figure 26.17a. This particular capacitor is made from two strips of aluminum separated by a strip of paraffin-coated paper. Each strip of foil and paper is 7.00 cm wide. The foil is 0.004 00 mm thick, and the paper is 0.025 0 mm thick and has a dielectric constant of 3.70. What length should the strips have, if a capacitance of 9.50 x 10-8 F is desired before the capacitor is rolled up? (Adding a second strip of paper and rolling the capacitor effectively doubles its capacitance, by allowing charge storage on both sides of each strip of foil.)
