How to Practise Parallel Plate Capacitors
Begin with C = ε0A/d and the effect of a dielectric slab or a metal sheet, treating a partly filled capacitor as capacitors in series or in parallel. Then practise cases where the battery stays connected and cases where it is disconnected, because charge and voltage behave differently in each.
Finish with the energy stored, the force between the plates and the numerical-value questions that combine several capacitors.
