THE PARALLEL PLATE CAPACITOR

True-False Question

A parallel plate capacitor consists of two large plane parallel conducting plates separated by a small distance. The two plates have charges Q and –Q, and magnitude of electric field due to each plate is σ/2ε0.

Question 1

Electric field outside the region of the plate is zero

Question 2

Electric field inside the region of the plate is σ/ε0

Question 3

The electric field is localised between the two plates and is uniform throughout

Question 4

Capacitance depends on the geometry of the system also the dielectric medium between the plates
