Parallel-Plate Capacitance Calculator.

Enter three values to calculate the remaing one. Even though every variable is unitless, please use the International System of Units.

\[C = \frac{\varepsilon \cdot A}{d}\]
Parameters:
A : float, optional

Area of the plate, unitless.

d : float, optional

Distance between the plates, unitless.

e : float, optional

Permitivity of the dielectric, unitless. Default value is the permittivity of free space: 8.854E-12

C : float, optional

Capacitance, unitless.

Returns:

  • A (float, optional) – Area of the plate, unitless.

  • d (float, optional) – Distance between the plates, unitless.

  • e (float, optional) – Permitivity of the dielectric, unitless. Default value is the permittivity of free space: 8.854E-12

  • C (float, optional) – Capacitance, unitless.
