Question

The energy of a charged capacitor resides in
(A) The electric field only
(B) The magnetic field only
(C) Both electric and magnetic field
(D) Neither in electric nor in magnetic field

Answer 1

To solve this problem we should know about capacitor and its property. Capacitor is an electrical component that draws energy from a battery and stores the energy. It is formed by two electric plates separated by a non- conducting substance.

Complete answer:
To solve this we have to understand the working of capacitor
As the capacitor is connected to the battery the change particle starts flowing through it. The electric plates acquire change particles.
The charged particles which concentrate in the plate produce electric energy.
As Plate starts changing when it connects to the battery. Hence electric fields vary with time. This varying electric field if you go away from it ,it acts as an infinite long wire, hence this magnetic energy will also be present between the charged capacitor plates.
Hence charge capacitors have both electric and magnetic energy.
So option (c) is correct.

Note:
The effect of a capacitor is known as capacitance. While some of capacitance exists between two of electrical conductors in a proximity in circuit, capacitor is a component formed to add capacitance to circuit. It was known as a condenser. This name and its cognates are still widely used in many languages, but it's rarely used in English, one notable exception being compensator microphones, it is also called a capacitor microphones.
