Two parallel-plate capacitors with different plate separation but the same capacitance are connected in series to a battery.Both capacitors are filled with air.The quantity that is NOT the same for both capacitors when they are fully charged is:
A)potential difference
B)stored energy
C)electric field between the plates
D)charge on the positive plate
E)dielectric constant

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electric field between the plates is inversely proportional to the plate separation. Since the capacitors have the same capacitance but different plate separations, the electric field between the plates will be different for each capacitor.
