Question

Refer to picture:

7. (4 points) An initially uncharged parallel plate of capacitance C is charged to potential V by a battery. The battery is then disconnected. Which statement is correct? a) There is no charge on either plate of the capacitor. b) The capacitor can be discharged by grounding any one of its two plates. c) Charge is distributed evenly over both the inner and outer surfaces of the plates. d) The magnitude of the electric field outside the space between the plates is approximately zero. e) The capacitance increase when the distance between the plates increases. Ans. ______

Explanation / Answer

Answer C

Even battery is disconnected ,charge will remain ,so charge is evenly distibuted on both the plates
