A capacitor is rolled from two strips of aluminum separated by two strips of paraffin-coated paper. Each strip is 5.40cm wide. The foil is 7.00μm thick, and the paper is 50.0μm thick. What length, in cm, should the strips be if a capacitance of 24.0nF is desired? Use 3.7 for the dielectric constant κ of the coated paper and 8.85 x 10-12 F/m for εo, the permittivity of free space.
