MCQ
In a charged capacitor, the energy resides
  • A
    The positive charges
  • B
    Both the positive and negative charges
  • The field between the plates
  • D
    Around the edge of the capacitor plates

Answer

Correct option: C.
The field between the plates
c
(c) As the electric field outside the capacitor plates is zero and field only exists in the between the plates, the energy will reside in field between the plates.
