calculate capacitance in a parallel plate capacitor in matlab

To calculate capacitance for a parallel plate capacitor in Matlab, you need to know the geometry of the capacitor, the permittivity of the medium between the plates and the distance between the plates. The capacitance for a parallel plate capacitor can be given as:

main.m
C = epsilon*A/d
16 chars
2 lines

where C is the capacitance, epsilon is the permittivity of the medium between the plates, A is the area of each plate and d is the distance between the plates.

Here is the Matlab code to calculate the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor given the above inputs:

main.m
% Set the parameters of the capacitor
epsilon = 8.85e-12;      % permittivity of free space
A = 1;                  % area of each plate in m^2
d = 0.1;                % distance between the plates in m

% Calculate the capacitance
C = epsilon*A/d;
249 chars
8 lines

In this code, the capacitance is calculated using the given inputs of permittivity, area and distance. You can change these values to simulate different parallel plate capacitors.
