The 1/d term is what gets the high values for capacitance when you have a
small "d," as in microinches. "Jim Weir" wrote in message ... In the FPS system, C = 0.224 (KA/d)(n-1) K= dielectric constant A= area of one side of one plate in square inches d= separation of plate surfaces in inches n= number of plates No square term, sorry. Jim "James M. Knox" shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: - -The capacity goes up linearly as a function of the surface area, but as the -square (if I recall) of the separation of the conductors.
