S-16) a) Design a parallel plate capacitor with a capacitance of 5 pF with vacuum between the plates. b) What will change if a dielectric is placed between the plates with dielectric constant of 2.

Alternate problem 16 (your choice, do the above capacitor problem or the resistor problem below)

S-16r) a) Given that the resistivity of carbon in graphite form is 5 x 10-5 Ω*m, design a 10 Ω resister. Hint: choose a cylindrical shape and specify the length and cross-sectional area. b) If you change to a graphite that has a different proportion of impurities that changes it resistivity to 20 x 10-5 Ω*m, how will your design change? Hint: if you work with a cylindrical shape, specify how either the length or the cross-sectional area will have to change.

Answer to Supplementary problems: 16) You are on your own - lots of correct answers (more incorrect ones!)
