Question

1. A parallel plate air capacitor has a capacitance of 5.00 F. What is the capacitance if a dielectric of permittivity of 2.00 is inserted between the plates of the original air capacitor?

A.1.25 F 
B.2.50 F 
C.5.00 F 
D.10.0 F

2. It is important to avoid sharp edges or points on conductors used in high-voltage equipment because a sharp point on a charged conductor would produce a large electric field in the region near the point and an electric discharge could most easily take place at the point.

A.Not enough information is given 
B.Sometimes true 
C.True 
D.False
