Question

In a charged capacitor the energy is stored in:

• A. Filed between the plates
• B. Positive charge
• C. Negative charge
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Filed between the plates

• In a capacitor, energy is not stored "inside" the physical material of the plates or on a single charge; rather, it is stored in the electric field that exists in the space (or dielectric) between the plates.
