Answer:
The proper value is 95 cm
Explanation:
Capacitors are a very common electronic components used to store charge for a period. The simplest kind of capacitors (and very studied on physics class ) are the two parallel plates capacitor. It consists of two parallel plates and some space between them, one plate is connected to a positive terminal of a source of voltage and the other pate is connected to the negative terminal. The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is:
with d the distance between the plates, A the area of the plates and εo the permittivity of vacuum that is
Knowing the area of a square plate is A=LxL =
:
Solving for L:
