| We can actually find an expression for capacitance specifically for parallel plates using the [[184_notes:pc_vefu|relationship between electric field and electric potential]] and the definition of capacitance above. //__Assume we start with a pair of parallel plates__//, which have an area $A$, a charge of $+/-Q$, and are separated by a distance $d$. | We can actually find an expression for capacitance specifically for parallel plates using the [[184_notes:pc_vefu|relationship between electric field and electric potential]] and the definition of capacitance above. //__Assume we start with a pair of parallel plates__//, which have an area $A$, a charge of $+/-Q$, and are separated by a distance $d$. |
