Electric Field (1)

Q1Moderate
What is the region around an electric charge in which an electric force acts called?
View answer & solution
Correct answer: A. Electric field
Quick explanation

A — Electric field. Every electric charge creates a region around it in which another charge experiences an electric force; this region is the electric field.

Q2Moderate
A 12 μF capacitor and a 4 μF capacitor are connected in series. The ratio of voltages across them will be:
View answer & solution
Correct answer: D. 1:3
Quick explanation

Series capacitors carry the same charge. Since V = Q/C, voltage is inversely proportional to capacitance: V(12 μF) : V(4 μF) = 4 : 12 = 1 : 3.

Q₁ = Q₂ = Q V = Q / C V₁₂ : V₄ = (Q/12) : (Q/4) = 1 : 3

Parallel-Plate Capacitor (1)

Q3Moderate
The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor depends on which of the following?
View answer & solution
Correct answer: D. Separation between the plates
Quick explanation

D — Separation between the plates. For a parallel-plate capacitor C = εA/d, so capacitance depends on plate area, dielectric and plate separation — not on plate thickness, metal or applied voltage.
