1
Q
What is Capacitance defined as?
A
The charge stored per unit potential difference (between the plates)
2
Q
What is the equation for capacitance?
A
C = Q/V
3
Q
What is a dielectric made up of?
A
Polar molecules, which are molecules with a positive and negative end (poles)
4
Q

A
From the positive plate to the negative plate
5
Q
What is capacitance?
A
