For a capacitor to hold a charge, there must be an interruption of a circuit between its two sides. Which of thefollowing is NOT an example of this interruption
|
|
vacuum
|
|
|
insulator
|
|
|
dielectric
|
|
|
conductor
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It is pertinent to note that if a fully charged capacitor is not discharged in the circuit, it can retain the charge even when the main power supply is disconnected.
Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: The capacitance (C) is defined as the charge (Q) stored per unit rise of voltage V across a conductor.
Detailed explanation-3: -The quantity of charge that can be given to a capacitor is limited by the fact that every dielectric is limited by the dielectric strength of the medium between the plates. The dielectric strength is the maximum value of an electric field that it can tolerate without breakdown.
