MCQ
In a charged capacitor, the energy resides
- AThe positive charges
- BBoth the positive and negative charges
- ✓The field between the plates
- DAround the edge of the capacitor plates
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
The field between the plates
c
(c) As the electric field outside the capacitor plates is zero and field only exists in the between the plates, the energy will reside in field between the plates.
