Q24.1
The two conductors
a
increase the charge on and
a b
are insulated from each other, forming a capacitor. You to +2
Q
and increase the charge on
b
to –2
Q
, while keeping the conductors in the same positions. As a result of this change, the capacitance
C
of the two conductors A. becomes 4 times great. B. B. becomes twice as great.
C. remains the same. D. becomes 1/2 as great.
E. becomes 1/4 as great.
