Six parallel-plate capacitors of identical plate separation have different plate areas A, different capacitance C and different dielectrics filling the space between the plates.
Part A: Rank the following capacitors on the basis of the dielectric constant of the material between the plates. Rank from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
1. A = 1 c m^2 , C = 1 n F
2. A = 4 c m ^2 , C = 1 n F
3. A = 8 c m ^2 , C = 2 n F
4. A = 2 c m ^2 , C = 8 n F
5. A = 2 c m ^2 , C = 4 n F
6. A = 4 c m ^2 , C = 2 n F
All of the capacitors from Part A are now attached to batteries with the same potential difference.
Part B Rank the capacitors on the basis of the charge stored on the positive plate. Rank from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
