Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the capacitance of a capacitor that stores 10 µC of charge at a potential difference of 5 V?
  • Step 1: Identify the formula for capacitance, which is C = Q / V.
  • Step 2: Identify the values given in the question: Q (charge) is 10 µC and V (voltage) is 5 V.
  • Step 3: Convert the charge from microcoulombs to coulombs: 10 µC = 10 × 10^-6 C.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: C = (10 × 10^-6 C) / (5 V).
  • Step 5: Perform the division: C = 2 × 10^-6 F.
  • Step 6: Convert the capacitance back to microfarads: 2 × 10^-6 F = 2 µF.
