["Garth van Sittert" <garth-at-mediasupplies.co.za> (by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-uswest-dot-net>)]

Here is the formula for calculating the value for a plate cap

                       k x A
   C  = 0.009  -------   (n-1)
                          d

   where C = capacitance in nanofarads
         k = the dielectric constant    (k=2.2 for polyethylene)
         A = surface area of plate in sq milimeters
         d = dialectric thickness in milimeters
         n = number of plates
