capacitance

What are the three factors affecting the capacitance of a parallel

plate capacitor?

• Dielectric, farad & voltage

• Area of plates, dielectric & distance between the plates

• Voltage, capacitance & dielectric

• None of the above

Isn’t it true that capacitor stores electric charges?

• Yes

• No

• Maybe

• I don’t know

The SI unit of capacitance is farad symbolized by letter F and was

named after who?

• Michaele Farad

• Michael Farad

• Michael Faraday

• Michael Faraed

What are the two major factors affecting the amount of charge a

capacitor can store?

• Voltage applied & capacitor’s physical characteristics

• Dielectric & voltage applied

• Capacitance & dielectric

• Charge and voltage applied

Why is inserting dielectrics in a capacitor important?

• To impede or block the charges passing through the material.

• To keep the conducting plates from coming in contact

• To reduce the possibility of shorting out by sparking

• All of the above mentioned.
