Two parallel plate capacitors with the same plate separation but different capacitance are connected in parallel to a battery. Both capacitors are filled with air. The quantity that is NOT the same for both capacitors when they are fully charged is: A) the potential difference across the plates B) the energy density between the plates C) the electric field between the plates D) the charge on the positive plates E) the dielectric constant

Answer:D) the charge on the positive plates.

Explanation:A capacitor is a passive Electric device that store Electric energy, capacitors are a little similar to batteries but they are not the same and they work in different ways.

A capacitor, contains two terminals which are connected to two metal plates separated by a non-conducting substance, the capacitance of a capacitor is the capacity of the capacitor to store Electric charge in it.

Of all the options only the charge on the positive plate will be different between both capacitors.
