Graphical derivation of capacitors in parallel
Parallel plate capacitor: Derivation. The two plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by a distance d measured in m, which is filled with atmospheric air. The cross-sectional area of each plate A is measured in m 2. The electric field E of each plate is equal to the following, where σ is the surface density. E = σ 2 · ε 0 σ = q A ⇒ E = q A · ε 0. If the potential difference ...
