A 0120 PF Parallel-Plate Capacitor Is Charged to a Potential Difference

question 150

Multiple Choice

A 0.120 pF parallel-plate capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 10.0 V and then disconnected from the battery.A cosmic ray burst creates 1.00*10⁶ electrons and 1.00 * 10⁶ positive charges between the plates.If the charges do not recombine,but reach the oppositely charged plates,by how much is the potential difference between the capacitor plates reduced?

• A)1.33 V
• B)7.34 V
• C)8.67 V
• D)1,330 V
• E)8,670 V
