The magnitude of the charge on each plate of a parallel plate capacitor is 4 μC and the potential difference between the plates is 80 V. What is the capacitance of this capacitor?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Capacitance (C) is calculated using the formula C = Q/V, where Q is the charge (4 μC = 4 × 10^-6 C) and V is the potential difference (80 V). Thus, C = (4 × 10^-6 C) / (80 V) = 5 × 10^-8 F.
