Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A capacitor is charged to a potential difference of V. If the charge on the capacitor is Q, what is the capacitance? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand that a capacitor stores electrical energy.
  • Step 2: Know that the charge (Q) on a capacitor is the amount of electrical energy it holds.
  • Step 3: Recognize that the potential difference (V) is the voltage across the capacitor.
  • Step 4: Learn the formula for capacitance, which is C = Q/V.
  • Step 5: To find capacitance (C), divide the charge (Q) by the potential difference (V).
  • Capacitance – Capacitance is the ability of a capacitor to store charge per unit voltage, defined by the formula C = Q/V.
