Answer

(a) $C = 1.25\times 10^{-11}~F$ (b) $Q = 1.25\times 10^{-9}~C$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the capacitance: $C = \frac{\epsilon_0~A}{d}$ $C = \frac{\epsilon_0~\pi~r^2}{d}$ $C = \frac{(8.854\times 10^{-12}~F/m)(\pi)~(0.015~m)^2}{0.50\times 10^{-3}~m}$ $C = 1.25\times 10^{-11}~F$ (b) We can find the magnitude of the charge $Q$ on each electrode: $Q = C~\Delta V$ $Q = (1.25\times 10^{-11}~F)(100~V)$ $Q = 1.25\times 10^{-9}~C$
