Question

Answer true/false to the following statements about parallel-plate capacitors. E.g., if the first statement is true and the rest false, enter TFFFF.

The charges on the two plates of a capacitor are equal.

Adding a dielectric between the plates of an air capacitor increases its capacitance.

Capacitance is the property of a device that enables it to store charge.

Charge is stored in the dielectric medium between the plates of a capacitor.

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is proportional to the separation of the plates.

A) The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is proportional to the area of the plates.

TRUE as C =Area * epsilon /d

B) Capacitance is the property of a device that enables it to store current.

False , it enables to store charge

C) The charges on the plates of a capacitor are equal and opposite.

TRue

D) Charge is stored on the plates of a capacitor.

True

E) Adding a dielectric between the plates of an air capacitor increases its capacitance.

TRUE as Cnew = k*C
