Mechanical Engineering

You are investigating two sensors to use in an experiment.Sensor A has area 600 ± 0.3 mm2 and the gap thickness is 0.3 ± 0.01mm. Sensor B has area 400 ± 0.25 mm2 and the gap thickness is 0.2 ±0.02 mm. Estimate the relative (hint: this is a %) and absoluteuncertainties (hint: this has units of capacitance) in capacitancefor both sensors. Your experiment requires that the capacitance ismeasured accurately within 5%. Which would you select for yourexperiment? Justify your response.

C = 8.85 × 10^?15 F/mm A/t
