alleryStart learning →A conductor can act as a capacitor alone if the second conductor is assumed where?
AAt the centre
BOn its surface
CAt infinity
DIn a cavity
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. At infinity
A single conductor can serve as a capacitor by taking the other conductor to be at infinity.
