Question 1
a) Determine the capacitance, C of a parallel plate capacitor having a
plate area, A of 0.005 m2 and a plate separation, d of 7.62 x 10-5 m.
The dielectric is ceramic, which has dielectric constant, r of 1200.

Question 2

Figure 2
a) A student wrap 100 turns of wire, N on a pencil that is 7mm in
diameter, (d=2r) as shown in Figure 2. The pencil is a nonmagnetic
core so has the same permeability as a vacuum, (4 x 10-6 H/m).
Determine the inductance of the coil that is formed.

b) In Figure 3, determine the energy stored in the inductor.
c) In Figure 3, determine the charging and discharging current at the
following time and draw the charging and discharging curve.
