A capacitor that can store 100 μC of charge with 10 V across its plates has a capacitance value of
A. 0.01 μF
B. 0.1 μF
C. 10.0 μF
D. 1.0 μF
Please scroll down to see the correct answer and solution guide.
Right Answer is: C
SOLUTION
Concept:
The charge stored by a capacitor with an applied voltage V is given by:
Q = C × V
C = Capacitance of the capacitor
V = Voltage applied across the capacitor
Q = Charge stored
Calculation:
Given Q = 100 μC
V = 10 V
100 μC = C × 10
C = 10 μF
