Uneven electrode plates question

[123456789a]

Hello, while I was making electrode plates for my capacitor they came off a bit uneven (0.1 centimeter off by width) would this pose a problem? The dimensions meant for the plates are (if you count the leads of the plates) 10.5 cm X 15 cm

dunno ??

show us some pics of what you are trying to build
else we are just guessing

If you insist, also if anyone is wondering why it is wood is because I'm going to coat the surface with graphene (and yes I did check the conductivity of my graphene solution on a wood scrap before going on ahead with this).

Interesting.

Essentially the capacitance is determined by the area and how close the plates are. By area we mean the area that the plates are meshed. So it's the overlap between the +ve and -ve plates, not their entire area.

If the plates are mismatched in size, the effect will be that the effective size is that of the overlapping area (possibly the smallest of the two assuming the aspect ratios aren't wildly different)

Ah I see, thank you that's what I was wondering
