Fringing FieldsMediumQuestion 31511

Question

The parallel-plate capacitor formula C = ε₀A/d assumes:
  1. A
    Non-uniform field
  2. B
    No fringing effects
    Correct
  3. C
    Metallic dielectric
  4. D
    Conducting medium

Correct answer

No fringing effects

Explanation

The ideal formula neglects edge effects (fringing). In real capacitors, fringing adds small extra capacitance.
