What is a parallel plate capacitor? Obtain the formula for the capacitance of such a parallel plate capacitor and state the factors on which the value of capacitance depends.

Two identical metal plates are given charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ $(q_2 < q_1)$ respectively. If they are now brought close together to form a parallel plate capacitor with capacitance $C$,the potential difference $V$ between the plates is

$A$ parallel-plate capacitor consists of a fixed plate and a movable plate that is allowed to slide in the direction parallel to the plates. Let $x$ be the distance of overlap,as shown in the figure. The separation between the plates is fixed. Assume that the plates are electrically isolated,so that their charges $\pm Q$ are constant. Force on the movable plate is proportional to
