Doc Physics calls "capacitance" the "efficiency of storing________ without raising ________ much." 

aenergy, temperature
bvoltage, charge
ccharge, voltage
dcharge, energy

When integrating to find energy stored in a capacitor, what does Doc Physics integrate with respect to?

aThe area of the plates.
bThe potential difference between the plates.
cThe distance between the plates.
dThe charge on the plates.

According to Doc Physics, "the force that we think of as Coulomb's Law is truly nature trying to minimize the_____________ of the system."

anet charge
bpotential energy
ccomplexity
delectric potential

Why do we use dielectrics inside capacitors?

aThey reduce the amount of potential difference necessary to keep a certain charge on a capacitor.
bThey reduce the capacitance of the capacitor.
cThey reduce the permittivity of free space.
dThey reduce the amount of energy stored by the capacitor without reducing the charge.

In the equation Q = CVQ=CV, what does the represent? a The maximum amount of charge that capacitor can hold. b The amount of charge on the positive plate of the capacitor. c The total charge on the capacitor. d The point charge with which you can measure capacitance.
