Question:

50. A commercial capacitor is constructed as in figure 16.25a. This particular capacitor is made from a strip of aluminum foil separated by two strips 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 be if a capacitance of 9.50 x 10–8 F is desired before the capacitor is rolled up? (Use the parallel-plate formula. Adding a second strip of paper and rolling up the capacitor doubles its capacitance by allowing both surfaces of each strip of foil to store charge.)
