A capacitive level sensor has the dimensions and properties shown below. What is the capacitance C in picofarads at the liquid level shown? Type in a one-decimal number
H = 4.0 meters
h = 3.9 meters
a = 1.0 millimeters
b = 6.0 millimeters
ε = 8.8542 x 10 picofarads/meter
k = 78.5
Answer;
please note here, value of permittivity of free space
ε0=8.8542 x 10-12 F/m = 8.8542 pF/m
but in question ε0= 8.8542x10 pF/m is given, so I taken value of question for calculation.
Step-by-step explanation
Capacitance, C=(εKA)/h= (8.8542 x 10x78.5x(3.14/4)x((0.002)2)/3.9=5.5961*10-3 pF
