Q
devices that store electric charge
A
capacitors
2
Q
how many conductors does a capacitor have and what are they called?
A
two conductors; plates
2
Q
where does potential difference exists in the plates?
A
between the two plates
2
Q
true or false: When the conductor is charged,
the plates carry charges of equal magnitude and opposite directions.
A
true
