This was the expression giving the
capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor,
.
is the cross-sectional area,
is the distance between the
plates,
is the permittivity of free space (
F/m, a constant of nature), and
is the
dielectric constant of the material between the plates. The value of
is 1 for vacuum, and
for media (so capacitance increases
when there's a dielectric between the plates).
