Which of the following statements about the discharging of a capacitor through a lightbulb are correct?

a) electrons in the wires flow away from the negative plate, toward the positive plate, reducing the charge on the plates.
b) the electric field at a location inside the wire is due to charge on the surface of the wires and charge on the plates of the capacitor.
c) electrons flow across the gap between the plates of the capacitor, thus reducing the charge on the capacitor.
d) the fringe field of the capacitor decreases as the charge on the capacitor plates decreases.

a) Electrons in the wires flow away from the negative plate, toward the positive plate, reducing the charge on the plates.

Explanation:

a) true. The electrons leave the plate and stop by the bulb where the energy dissipates

b) False the electric field in the entire metal cable is the same because it is an equipotential surface

c) False electrons cannot jump from the metal plate

d) False the load does not create a marginal field

answer: good job it's all correct !

explanation:

energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical or physical means. do not understand what you are asking but hope this
