a.) Consider a homemade capacitor, which consists of 2 8.5" x 11" aluminum foil sheets separated by 10 sheets of paper. Estimate the capacitance of this device. What effect does the paper have on the capacitance, other than the mechanical property of keeping the plates from touching?

b.) Consider two capacitors in (a). How should they be connected (series or parallel) to maximize the equivalent capacitance? Find the equivalent capacitance for this combination.
