A capacitor is basically which kind of system?
AA single insulator in a field
BTwo conductors separated by an insulator
COne conductor wrapped in a magnet
DTwo insulators joined by a wire
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Two conductors separated by an insulator
Two conductors carrying Q and minus Q with an insulating gap form the basic capacitor.
