In a capacitor, the voltage difference between the plates controls the _____.
A) area of the plates
B) thickness of the dielectric
C) amount of dielectric stress
D) amount of current flow through the capacitor

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The voltage difference between the plates of a capacitor influences the electric field strength across the dielectric, which in turn affects the amount of dielectric stress. Higher voltage can lead to greater stress on the dielectric material.
