A parallel plate capacitor is two large flat plates separated by a:
ACharged battery
BSmall distance
CLarge distance
DThick metal wire
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Small distance
1. The plates are large and parallel.
2. The gap is tiny compared with the plate size.
3. So they are separated by a small distance.
