A parallel-plate vacuum capacitor has an area of 1×10-4m2, a spacing between the plates of 1×10-3 m, and a voltage of 1 V.
(a) Calculate the capacitance of this capacitor. (b) A microcapacitor is replacing the capacitor in part (a). It must have the same capacitance; however, the new area is 1×10-10 m2, and the spacing between the plates is now 1×10-6 m, with 1 V applied. (b1) What is the dielectric constant and dielectric strength required for the material inthe microcapacitor? (b2) Are there any materials available that can meet these requirements, and if so, what are they? (b3) What is the polarization (P) in this microcapacitor, and how does this polarization compare to the surface-charge density if this were a vacuum capacitor?
