प्रश्न
A parallel-plate capacitor has plates of unequal area. The larger plate is connected to the positive terminal of the battery and the smaller plate to its negative terminal. Let Q, and Q be the charges appearing on the positive and negative plates respectively.
विकल्प
Q, > Q
Q, = Q
Q, < Q
The information is not sufficient is decide the relation between Q, and Q.
