Six parallel-plate capacitors of identical plate separationhave different plate

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)
