Question

True or False? 1. Capacitors are electrical devices in which electricenergy is stored. 2. Capacitors always have two parallel conducting plates, onecarrying a charge of +q and the other carrying a charge of-q.
3. The potential difference between capacitor's platesdepends linearly on the charge of the plates.
4. The field of a parallel-plate capacitor is not uniform atthe edges of its plates.
5. The potential on a capacitor plate varies from point topoint on the plate depending on the charge on the plate True or False? 1.

5. The potential on a capacitor plate varies from point topoint on the plate depending on the charge on the plate

Explanation / Answer

1. Capacitors are electrical devices in which electricenergy is stored. => TRUE ( E=1/2*V2*C) 2. Capacitors always have two parallel conducting plates, onecarrying a charge of +q and the other carrying a charge of -q => FALSE (we also have the cylindercapacitor...spherial capacitor...) 3. The potential difference between capacitor's platesdepends linearly on the charge of the plates. V=Q/C   => TRUE 4. The field of a parallel-plate capacitor is notuniform at the edges of its plates => TRUE (in reallife ) 5. The potential on a capacitor plate varies from pointto point on the plate depending on the charge on the plate FALSE => the same 4. The field of a parallel-plate capacitor is notuniform at the edges of its plates => TRUE (in reallife ) 5. The potential on a capacitor plate varies from pointto point on the plate depending on the charge on the plate FALSE => the same
