https://session.masteringphysics.com/myct/itemView?assignmentProblemID-58820576 CPCC-PHY 152-85 -Spring 2016 PHY 152 Lab 02 Dielectrics and Capacitance Ranking Task Signed in as Lewis Th Dielectrics and Capacitance Ranking Task Part B Rank the capacitors on the basis of the charge stored on the positive plate Rank from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them. Six parallel-plate capacitors of identical plate separation have different plate areas A, different capacitances C, and different dielectrics filling the space between the plates. Below is a generic diagram of what each one of these capacitors might look like. Figure 1) A = 1cm2 C = 2nF Figure 1 of1 A = 2cm smallest largest The correct ranking cannot be determined

Explanation / Answer

we calculate the ratio of C and A for each case

the one with greater C/A ratio will have greater charge stored

1. 1/4 = 0.25

2. 1/1 = 1

3. 2/4 = 0.5

4. 8/2 = 4

5. 2/8 = 0.25

6. 4/2 = 2

4 >6 >2>3 > 5 = 1
