The ratio of the charge on each conductor to the potential difference between the conductors is called?

A device that stores electric potential energy and electric charge is called?

The potential differences are the same for all capacitors in a ________ combination.

If the capacitors are connected in parallel,  _______must be greater than any of the individual capacitances.

When the capacitor is discharged, this stored energy is recovered as work done by __________.

It is any pair of conductors separated by an insulating material.

The SI unit of capacitance is?

It is an electrical insulator that can be polarised by an applied electric field.

The potential differences are the same for all capacitors in a parallel combination.

The potential differences of the individual capacitors add to give the total potential difference across the parallel combination.

The charges on individual capacitors are  the same unless their individual capacitances are the same.

For capacitors in a series connection the magnitude of charge is the same on all plates of all the capacitors in a series combination.

The energy U required to charge a capacitor C to a potential difference V and a charge Q is equal to the energy stored in the capacitor.

The  __________ is defined as the ratio of Q to V.

The vertical lines (straight or curved) represent the conductors,  is called?
