Hi Jason,

just use a calculator, the formula below and bookmark this site
http://home.earthlink-dot-net/~electronxlc/formulas.html

    0.22*K*A*(N-1)
C = --------------
     1,000,000*D

C = capacitance in microfarads
K = dielectric constant
A = area of each plate in square inches
N = number of plates
D = distance between plates in inches (thickness of dielectric)

Hi all,

Is there a program kicking around that can calculate the capacitance of a
plate capacitor? this is the one thing that wintesla doesnt have :)

Best Regards,
Jason
