‘X’ is a widely used capacitor which consists of two large plane parallel conducting plates separated by a small distance. Identify X.(a) Spherical capacitor(b) Parallel plate capacitor(c) Cylindrical capacitor(d) Electrolytic capacitorI had been asked this question in an international level competition.My enquiry is from Parallel Plate Capacitor topic in division Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct answer is (b) PARALLEL PLATE capacitor

The best I can explain: The simplest and the most widely used capacitor is the parallel plate capacitor. It consists of two large plane parallel conducting plates, separated by a SMALL distance.

Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor = \(\frac {Q}{V} = [ \frac {\sigma A}{(\frac {\sigma d}{\varepsilon_0})} ] = \frac {A\varepsilon_0}{d}\).
