Question
Six parallel-plate capacitors of identical plate separationhave different plate areas ,different capacitances ,and different dielectrics filling the space between the plates.Below is a generic diagram of what each one of these capacitorsmight look like.Part B
Rank the capacitors on the basis of thecharge stored on the positive plate.
Rank from largest to smallest. Torank items as equivalent, overlap them.
1)A = 2 cm2
C=8nF
2)A=4cm2
C=1nF
3)A=4cm2
C=2 nF
4)A=2cm2
C=4nF
5)A=8cm2
C=2nF
6)A=1cm2
C=1nF
Explanation / Answer
Charge stored is given as: Q=CV V is constant for all, Thus Q~C RAnking: (1)>(4)>(5)=(3)>(2)=(6)
