If the distance between the plates is doubled, __________ . a. The capacitance of the capacitor is doubled. b. The potential difference between the plates is cut in half. c. The potential energy between the plates is cut half. d. The electric field between the plates remains the same. e. The area of both capacitor plates doubles.
Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.
