Question

The charge stored in a parallel plate capacitor is proportional to the _____(potential, current) and across _____ (resistance, capacitance) the plates.

Answer 1

Answer:

The charge stored in a parallel plate capacitor is proportional to the potential, and capacitance across the plates.

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by:

$C=\frac{Q}{V}$

where

Q is the charge stored

V is the potential difference across the capacitor

Re-arranging the formula, we get

$Q=CV$

From this expression, we see that the charge stored (Q) is proportional to both the potential (V) and the capacitance (C).
