AP Physics 2
10.6 Capacitors
10.4 Electric Potential Energy
10.3 Electric Fields
Two parallel-plate capacitors, Capacitor 1 and Capacitor 2, are constructed with the plate area, plate separation, and dielectric material properties shown in the table.
Each capacitor is charged until it holds the same magnitude of charge \(Q_0\) on its plates, and both capacitors are then isolated from their charging sources. Which row in the table correctly compares the capacitance \(C\), the electric field magnitude \(E\) between the plates, and the stored electric potential energy \(U\) of Capacitor 2 to Capacitor 1?
| Capacitor | Plate Area | Plate Separation | Dielectric Constant |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | \(A_0\) | \(d_0\) | \(1.0\) |
| 2 | \(3A_0\) | \(2d_0\) | \(4.0\) |
