Doc Physics calls "capacitance" the "efficiency of storing________ without raising ________ much." 

a	energy, temperature

b	voltage, charge

c	charge, voltage

d	charge, energy

When integrating to find energy stored in a capacitor, what does Doc Physics integrate with respect to?

a	The area of the plates.

b	The potential difference between the plates.

c	The distance between the plates.

d	The charge on the plates.

According to Doc Physics, "the force that we think of as Coulomb's Law is truly nature trying to minimize the_____________ of the system."

a	net charge

b	potential energy

c	complexity

d	electric potential

Why do we use dielectrics inside capacitors?

a	They reduce the amount of potential difference necessary to keep a certain charge on a capacitor.

b	They reduce the capacitance of the capacitor.

c	They reduce the permittivity of free space.

d	They reduce the amount of energy stored by the capacitor without reducing the charge.
