What is the area of the plates of a 2 F parallel plate capacitor, given that the separation between the plates is 0.5 cm? (You will realise from your answer why ordinary capacitors are in the range of F or less. However, electrolytic capacitors do have a much larger capacitance (0.1 F) because of very minute separation between the conductors.)  

Answer:

Using we get                                 = 1.13 × 109 m2.
