You may build a parallel-plate capacitor from waxed paper (κ = 2.3) and aluminum foil. You decide to try it, and build one about the size of a piece of notebook paper of dimensions 3 in×5 in. Calculate the amount of charge the capacitor will store when connected to a 12-V battery. What is the charge stored by the capacitor? Describe where this charge is stored?
