Question
1. This circuit element is created out of two metal plates and an insulating material called a dielectric.
A. inductor
C. capacitor
B. resistor
D. transistor
2. A dielectric material is inserted between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor
while the capacitor is connected to a battery. As it is being inserted:
A. the capacitance and the charge on the plate increase but the potential difference between the plates
remains the same
B. the potential difference between the plates increases, the charge on the positive plate decreases, and
the capacitance remains the same
C. the capacitance and the charge on the positive plate decrease but the potential difference between the
plates remains the same
D. the capacitance, the potential difference between the plates, the charge on the positive plate all
decrease
3. What happens to the atoms in a dielectric when it is placed between the plates of a charged capacitor?
A. They begin to conduct electricity.
B. They create an induced electric field that is in the same direction as the field due to the charges on the
plates.
C. They create an electric field that is in the opposite direction of the field due to the charges on the
plates.
D. They completely cancel the electric field due to the charges on the plates.
4. If the capacitor is CONNECTED to the battery, what remains constant if the
area of the metal plates is increased?
A. Voltage across the metal plates

6. As you charge up a capacitor, what happens to the current through it
A. increases
7. What happens to the charge in a capacitor during the discharging process?
A. increases over time
8. How is the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor affected by the distance between the plates?
A. C is directly proportional to the distance d between the plates
B. C is not affected by the distance d between the plate
C. C is inversely proportional to the distance d between the plates
D. C is fluctuating as a result of the change in distance d between the plates.
