In this lesson, we will learn how to describe how the size of a capacitor's plates, the separation between the plates, and the medium separating the plates affect the capacitance of the capacitor.
Students will be able to
Q1:
The diagram shows the orientations of polarized molecules in the dielectric between the plates of a capacitor. Which of the following most correctly describes the charge on the capacitor plates? Red represents positive charge and blue represents negative charge.
Q2:
Which of the following correctly describes the effect of adding a dielectric to a capacitor on the electric field between the capacitor plates? Assume that the capacitor plates are initially separated only by a vacuum.
Q3:
Which of the following correctly describes the necessary electrical properties of the dielectric of a capacitor?
