Question

Wednesday Homework Problem 5.3 A capacitor is charged with a battery by connecting the positive terminal of the battery to one plate of the capacitor and the negative terminal of the battery to the other plate. Select the one of the following that is most true of the capacitor Select One of the Following (a) The total charge of the capacitor is approximately zero. (b) The total charge of the capacitor is positive. (c) The total charge of the capacitor is negative. (d) The total charge of the capacitor is positive or negative, but the sign cannot be determined from the information given.

Explanation / Answer

as capacitor is charged then

there will be +Q charge on plate connected to +ve terminal.

and on other plate, there will be charge of - Q.

hence total charge on capacitor,

Q_total = Q - Q = 0
