Need help with capacitance?

Find the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor if the area of each plate is 0.1m^2 and the distance between the plates is 0.1 inch. The dielectric is air.

Update:

@jimmymae2000 - Um.....okay if you're not going to help then do not help. Do not just go and answer a question just to get 2 stupid points.

Favourite answer
C=e0*er*area/distance. Use meters and meters^2. e0=8.854e-12 F/meter and er=1 for air.
