Supposing that mica is not available, it may be re-quired to find the number of sheets of glass required to make up thecondenser of microfarad required above. Suppose the sheets are15 by 20 cm., cm. thick, and the dielectric constant is 7. Substi-tuting in the formula just given, XlQfi** X 7 X15 X 20 ^ Thus nine sheets of this dielectric are needed.
