Answer

$C = 5.0 \times 10^{-17} F$

Work Step by Step

We use the capacitance formula $C = \frac {k\epsilon_o A}{d}$ Where, $k = 4.5$ $A = (0.50 \mu m)^2$ $d = 0.20 \mu m$ $\epsilon_o = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} F/m$ Substitute all the values into the equation, we solve for C $C = \frac {( 4.5) (8.85 \times 10^{-12} F/m)}{0.20 \mu m}$ $C = 5.0 \times 10^{-17} F$
