A capacitor will stop charging, when the potential difference across its plates reaches the same __________ as the external supply
A) polarity
B) charge
C) potential
D) potential difference

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A capacitor is a device that stores electric charge. It charges until the potential difference across its plates reaches the same as the external supply, meaning that there is no longer a difference in potential for the charge to move across the capacitor. Therefore, the correct answer is potential difference (D).
