A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed using barium titanate (BaTiO3 or BTO), a common
dielectric material used in high voltage capacitors. The design calls for a 1.88 nF capacitor, in
which the dielectric layer of BTO separates two parallel metal plates each having an area of
9 cm2. Using a dielectric constant of 6,000 for BTO,
(a) Determine the length, l, in mm, separating the two parallel plates (10 points)
(b) The application calls for a 1 kV electric field to be applied to the capacitor. Under this field,
what will the polarization, P, be?
