Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the potential difference across a capacitor (C) charged to a charge (Q)?
  • Step 1: Understand that a capacitor stores electrical energy.
  • Step 2: Know that the charge (Q) is the amount of electrical energy stored in the capacitor.
  • Step 3: Recognize that the capacitance (C) is a measure of how much charge a capacitor can store per unit of voltage.
  • Step 4: Learn the formula for potential difference (V) across a capacitor, which is V = Q / C.
  • Step 5: To find the potential difference, divide the charge (Q) by the capacitance (C).
