Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a capacitor of capacitance C is connected to a voltage source V, what is the charge on the capacitor?
  • Step 1: Identify the capacitance (C) of the capacitor. This is a measure of how much charge the capacitor can store per unit voltage.
  • Step 2: Identify the voltage (V) from the voltage source that is connected to the capacitor.
  • Step 3: Use the formula Q = CV to calculate the charge (Q) on the capacitor. Multiply the capacitance (C) by the voltage (V).
  • Step 4: The result from Step 3 is the total charge stored on the capacitor.
  • Capacitance – Capacitance (C) is the ability of a capacitor to store charge per unit voltage.
  • Charge Calculation – The relationship between charge (Q), capacitance (C), and voltage (V) is linear, expressed as Q = CV.
