Chapter 21 Reading Quiz

This quiz delves into key concepts related to potential difference and electric fields, specifically in the context of parallel-plate capacitors. Questions explore the units of potential difference, new units of electric field introduced, and the behavior of electric potential within capacitors. It covers important relationships such as how electric potential is constant or varies within capacitors and the perpendicular nature of electric fields to equipotential surfaces. Test your knowledge on these fundamental topics in electrostatics!
