Issue with using Farad units and final computation

Posted 2 years ago

Hello, not sure if this computation is correct.? Not sure how to define the Farad units.
8.85410^-12"Farads"]m^-1 ; (would this be correct?)

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Clear["Global`*"]
T = Quantity[1000, "Kelvins"];
kb = Quantity[1, "BoltzmannConstant"];
n = 10^11 m^3 ;
v = 2* 10^4;
\[Epsilon] = Quantity[ 8.854, "Farads"]^ ;
(*\[Epsilon] = Quantity[ 8.854*10^-12"Farads"]*m^-1 ;*)
e = 1.6 * 10^-19; 
N[LD = ((\[Epsilon] kb T)/(n (e)^2))^0.5]

Those N[ ] serve no purpose, because the numbers are already floating-point. By "numerical value" do you mean this?

LD = ((kb T \[Epsilon])/(e^2 n))^(1/2)
QuantityMagnitude[LD]

Do you mean

n = Quantity[10^11 , "Meters"^3];
\[Epsilon] = Quantity[8.854, "Farads"/"Meters"];

Instead of ^0.5 I would recommend ^(1/2) or Sqrt.
