Conductors, Capacitors, Dielectrics
What must be true for a capacitor to be considered fully charged?
It completely resists any current passing through.
The potential difference across it equals that of the charging battery.
The electric field inside it reaches zero.
There's no potential difference across it at all.
Which device is specifically designed to store electrical energy in an electric field?
Capacitor
Inductor
Transformer
Resistor
If a dielectric material with dielectric constant is inserted into a capacitor, which already has charge and potential difference without the dielectric, what is the new potential difference across the capacitor?
If two identical capacitors are connected in series with a battery, how does the equivalent capacitance compare to that of a single capacitor?
The equivalent capacitance doubles.
The equivalent capacitance quadruples.
The equivalent capacitance is halved.
The equivalent capacitance remains unchanged.
What happens to the electric charge on a conductor when it is brought near another charged object?
The charge redistributes itself.
The charge remains uniformly distributed.
The charge stays concentrated at one point.
The charge disappears from the conductor.
What happens to the potential difference across a capacitor when the separation between its plates is doubled while keeping the charge constant?
It halves.
It remains the same.
It doubles.
It quadruples.
When a parallel plate capacitor's dielectric constant increases with every other factor remaining constant, what happens to the charge stored on its plates when connected to a constant potential difference?
It decreases
The charge stored increases
It oscillates between the plates
It remains unchanged
