2. Categorize each statement as true or false. A cylindrical capacitor is essentially a parallel-plate capacitor rolled into a tube. The dielectric constant indicates the distance by which the two plates of a capacitor are separated. The charge on a capacitor increases quickly at first, then much more slowly as the capacitor charges. The voltage across a capacitor in an RC circuit increases linearly during charging. One of the principle purposes of a capacitor is to store electric potential energy. A capacitor charges rapidly when connected to an RC circuit with a battery. True False

Explanation:

False --> A cylindrical capacitor is essentially a parallel plate capacitor rolled into a tube. This is because a cylindrical capacitor comprises two cylinders.

False --> The dielectric constant indicates the distance by which the two plates of a capacitor are separated.

True --> The charge on a capacitor increases quickly at first, then much more slowly as the capacitor charges. This is because the charge on the capacitor increases exponentially.

False --> The voltage across a capacitor in an RC circuit increases linearly during charging. This is because the voltage increases exponentially.

True --> One of the principal purposes of a capacitor is to store electric potential energy.

True --> A capacitor charges rapidly when connected to an RC circuit with a battery. This is because a cylindrical capacitor is basically a parallel plate capacitor rolled into a tube.

that would be b i just took the test : )

the answer for apex is the lowest
