Question

2. The energy stored in a capacitor is actually stored

(a) between the plates

(b) on the positive plate

(c) on the negative plate

(d) on the outer surfaces of the plates

​

Answer 1

stored in a capacitor is electrostatic potential energy and is thus related to the charge Q and voltage V between the capacitor plates. A charged capacitor stores energy in the electrical field between its plates. As the capacitor is being charged, the electrical field builds up.

Answer 2

Answer:D) on the outer surface of the plates.

Explanation:

stored in a capacitor is electrostatic potential energy and is thus related to the charge Q and voltage V between the capacitors plates . A charged capacitor store energy in the electrical field between its plates .As the capacitor is being charged the electrical field buildup.
