A capacitor of capacitance \(C\) is charged to a potential \(V.\) The flux of the electric field through a closed surface enclosing the capacitor is:
1. | \( \dfrac {CV} {\varepsilon_0}\) | 2. | \( \dfrac {2CV} {\varepsilon_0}\) |
3. | \( \dfrac {CV} {2\varepsilon_0}\) | 4. | zero |
A parallel-plate capacitor has plates of unequal area. The larger plate is connected to the positive terminal of the battery and the smaller plate to its negative terminal. Let Q+ and Q- be the charges appearing on the positive and negative plates respectively.
