Parallel plate capacitor: physical arrangement of plates
Not what you're looking for?
Imagine that you would like to design a parallel plate capacitor that could store 1 J of electrical energy in the electric field between its plates when connected to a 1.5 V battery. Imagine that you can arrange things so that the plates can be separated by a distance d as small as 0.5 mm. (Hint argue that the electric field strength between the plates is E approximately equal to V/d, where V is th potental difference between the plates).

With good explanations and calculations, the problem is solved.
Solution Preview
You have not mentioned exactly what do you want. But I'm assuming that you want to design the capacitor i.e., want to calculate the size (i.e. area) of parallel plates used.
because, energy stored in a capacitor:
U = (1/2)*C*V^2
where,
V = 1.5 ...

- " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
