<img src="./images/conducting_cap_plates.png" align="right" style="width: 400px";/> Assume the plates are separated by a distance $L$ and each have an area $A$. What is the capacitance of the plates $C=Q/\Delta V$? 1. $A/L$ 2. $L/A$ 3. $\varepsilon_0 A/L$ 3. $\varepsilon_0 L/A$ 5. Something else Note: * CORRECT ANSWER: B

The eletric field between the shells is just that of a point charge. What is the electric potential difference between the outer shell ($r=b$) and the inner shell ($r=a$)? 1. $\dfrac{Q}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\left(\dfrac{1}{b}-\dfrac{1}{a}\right)$ 2. $\dfrac{Q}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\left(\dfrac{1}{a}-\dfrac{1}{b}\right)$ 3. $\dfrac{Q}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\left(\dfrac{1}{b^2}-\dfrac{1}{a^2}\right)$ 4. $\dfrac{Q}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\left(\dfrac{1}{a^2}-\dfrac{1}{b^2}\right)$ 5. Something else? Note: Correct Answer is B

What is the sign of the potential difference between the outer shell ($r=b$) and the inner shell ($r=a$)? $\Delta V = V(b) - V(a)$ 1. $\Delta V > 0$ 2. $\Delta V < 0$ 2. ??? Note: Correct Answer is A

<img src="./images/capacitor_gap_bigger.png" align="right" style="width: 300px";/> You have two very large parallel plate capacitors, both with the same area and the same charge $Q$. Capacitor \#1 has twice the gap of Capacitor \#2. Which has more stored potential energy? 1. \#1 has twice the stored energy 2. \#1 has more than twice 3. They both have the same 4. \#2 has twice the stored energy 5. \#2 has more than twice. Note: * CORRECT ANSWER: A * E same; twice volume

<img src="./images/capacitor_gap_connected.png" align="center" style="width: 500px";/> A parallel plate capacitor is attached to a battery which maintains a constant voltage difference V between the capacitor plates. While the battery is attached, the plates are pulled apart. The electrostatic energy stored in the capacitor 1. increases. 2. decreases. 3. stays constant. Note: * CORRECT ANSWER: B * Potential same; field is reduced; but shows up squared while d is increased, overall goes down
