Hi,
As always this is great forum, I am learning great deal here
I am thinking about making a simple capacitor, made up of:
1. Conductive parallel plates - lets say they are made of Aluminium
2. An insulator made up of two layers, can be anything - lets say paper
3. A very thin metal sheet such as Aluminium foil sandwiched inbetween the insulating layers
Lets assume my manufacturing skills allow me to make the cap with these dimensions:
:: the surface area of the cap will be 100 x 100mm
:: the thickness of each insulating layer will be 50microns
:: the thickness of the sandwiched Al sheet will be 5microns
If we only apply DC current - what effect would that setup have on: Capacitance? Voltage? etc ...
thanks
