A 1- megabit computer memory chip contains many 60.0 x 10 -15 F Capacitors. Each capacitor has a plate area of 21.0 x 10 - 12 m 2. Determine the plate separation of such a capacitor ( assume parallel plate configuration) The diamater of an atom is on the order of 10-10 m =1 A. Express the plate separation in angstroms.
