Question
Consider a parallel plate capacitor.The capacitance of the capacitor increases as the potential difference applied across it decreases. True or False.
Capacitors in parallel configuration can be charged with a battery to store more charge than that stored in the same capacitors in series configuration by charging with the same battery. True or False.
If the battery used to charge a capacitor is removed after charging the capacitor, the energy stored in the capacitor decreases since the potential difference across a charged capacitor decreases due to the absence of the battery. True or False.
Explanation / Answer
The capacitance of the capacitor increases as the potential difference applied across it decreases ----> false ,as capacitance only depends upon the dimensions of the capacitors Capacitors in parallel configuration can be charged with a battery to store more charge than that stored in the same capacitors in series configuration by charging with the same battery ----->true, in series combinations capacitance decreases and thus charge,and vice-versa for parallel If the battery used to charge a capacitor is removed after charging the capacitor, the energy stored in the capacitor decreases since the potential difference across a charged capacitor decreases due to the absence of the battery. -------->false , no change occurs.
