If two identical parallel plate capacitors of capacitance are connected in series, which is true of the equivalent capacitance,
?
Two parallel conducting plates each have an area of and are separated by a distance,
. One plate has a charge
evenly distributed across it, and the other has a charge of
. A proton (charge
) is initially held near the positive plate, then released such that it accelerates towards the negative plate. How much kinetic energy has the proton gained in this process?
You are hired to make a capacitor out of two parallel metal sheets. If someone wanted you to make a thin capacitor of out of those metal sheets, and the sheets needed to be
apart, what area do the two metal plates need to be?
The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are apart. A potential difference of
is applied across the capacitor. Compute the magnitude of the generated electric field.
A and
capacitor are connected in series with a
battery. What is the magnitude of the charge on one plate of the
capacitor?
The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are apart and
in area. A potential difference of
is applied across the capacitor. Find the capacitance.
