1. A capacitor whose insulator has relative permittivity ε r1 = 1 has capacitance C 1 = 1 μf. What is going to be its capacitance if the insulator is replaced by another one with ε r = 30? C. If the two capacitors (of C 1 and of C ) are biased with voltage V = 1 kv, what would be their respective charges (Q 1 and Q )? Q1 Q 3. What is the nature of the charges Q 1 and Q? (a) free charge deposited on electrode surface (b) bound charge deposited on the insulator surface at the electrode (c) total charge at the electrode-insulator surface LECTURE 14 slide 4
