Extra information on capacitors Q:1 Why there is low potential difference between the two conductors of a capacitor? Ans. As we know, C = q/V So, for large capacitance of a capacitor and large amount of charge storing in a capacitor, V must be low. Also, in practicality if 'V' is large it will be result to a strong electric field between the conductors which can ionize the medium between the conductors resulting to acceleration in the charges towards the opposite charges and the charges inside the capacitor can fully or partially leaks away. Q:2 What is a capacitor? Ans. A capacitor is an energy storing device which stores energy in the form of charge hold inside the capacitor. Q:3 What is dielectric strength? Ans. It is the maximum amount of electric field of a dielectric medium so that the medium will not ionize. For example, dielectric strength of air = 3 × 10⁶ N/C.
