When a Certain Capacitor Carries Charges of ±10 µC on Its

question 1

Multiple Choice

When a certain capacitor carries charges of ±10 µC on its plates,the potential difference cross the plates is 25 V.Which of the following statements about this capacitor are true? (There could be more than one correct choice. )

• A)If we double the charges on the plates to ±20 µC,the capacitance of the capacitor will also double.
• B)If we double the charges on the plates to ±20 µC,the potential difference across the plates will also double.
• C)If we double the charges on the plates to ±20 µC,the capacitance of the capacitor will not change.
• D)If we double the charges on the plates to ±20 µC,the potential difference across the plates will decrease by a factor of two.
