Revision Questions On Capacitance

This document contains revision questions about capacitance. Some key points covered are: - The work done in charging a capacitor appears as stored electrical potential energy. - Any non-conducting material placed between capacitor plates is called a dielectric. Using a dielectric increases the capacitance. - Capacitance is defined as the ratio of the charge on either conductor to the potential difference between them. It is a quantitative property. - Capacitors can store electric potential energy and charge. Their capacitance depends on the geometry and separation of their conductors as well as any dielectric material between them.
