An example of a capacitor

We get small distances by using very thin insulating materials. Hemp fiber has recently become a good choice because its fibers are thin, cheap and have a high εr value. In order to have more overlap area, many capacitors employ plate pairs that are rolled up into a cylinder, preserving the constant distance between them, but dramatically enlarging the overlap area.

The amount of capacitance of such a device is dependent on three things:
The area of overlap of the two parallel plates, A
The distance between the plates, d
The nature of the material in between the plates, which cannot be a conductor.
