  2. Q = C/V
  3. Q = V/C
  4. Q = C + V

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the relationship between charge (Q), capacitance (C), and voltage (V) in a capacitor? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand what a capacitor is. A capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy.
  • Step 2: Know the three important terms: charge (Q), capacitance (C), and voltage (V).
  • Step 3: Charge (Q) is the amount of electrical energy stored in the capacitor.
  • Step 4: Capacitance (C) is a measure of how much charge a capacitor can store per unit of voltage.
  • Step 5: Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference across the capacitor.
  • Step 6: The relationship between these three terms is expressed by the formula Q = CV.
  • Step 7: This means that if you know any two of the values (Q, C, or V), you can find the third one using this formula.
