Capacitance for plate capacitors

C=((K * DC * Area) / Distance) * (Plates - 1)

C in Farads
Where K is a constant = 8.85E-12
DC is the dielectric constant (1 for air)
Area - the sheet area (width x height) in square meters
Distance - distance between plates in meters (thickness)
Plates - number of plates
