The basic capacitor is made up of ___ that separates two conductive plates
a conductor
a spacer
a dielectric
an electrode
A capacitor consists of two conductors separated by a dielectric medium. Common examples of a dielectric medium include paper, mica or glass.
A parallel-plate capacitor has plate are 20 cm^{2, plate separation 1.0 mm and a dielectric slab of dielectric constant 5.0 filling up the space between the plates. This capacitor is joined to a battery of emf 6.0 V through a 100 k Ω resistor. Find the energy of the capacitor 8.9 μsafter the connections are made.
