A) True B) False 3 In the electronics industry capacitors are rarely referred to as condensers. A) True B) False 4 The action of neutralizing the charge by connecting a conducting path across the dielectric is called discharging the capacitor. A) True B) False 5 Any charge or discharge current flows through the conducting wires to the plates and through the dielectric. A) True B) False 6 When one coulomb is stored in the dielectric with a potential difference of one volt, the capacitance is one microfarad. A) True B) False 7 Capacitors are always coded in nF. A) True B) False 8 The result of a larger plate area is more charge stored for the same applied voltage, which means that the capacitance is larger.
