Question
You need to construct a 100 pF capacitor for a science project. You plan to cut two L x L metal squares and insert small spacers between their corners. The thinnest spacers you have are 0.20 mm thick. What is the proper value of L?

Answer:
value of L = 4.75 cm
Explanation:
given data
capacitor = 100 pF = 100 ×
F
thick = 0.20 mm = 2 ×
m
solution
we get here area of each plate that is
area = L² …………………..1
and
Capacitance, C = εo A ÷ d ………………2
put here value so we get
100 ×
= 8.854 ×
× L² ÷ ( 2 ×
)
solve it and we will get
L = 0.047528 m
value of L = 4.75 cm
