An 80-nF capacitor is charged to a potential of 500 V.How much charge accumulates on each plate of the capacitor? A)4.0 $\times$ 10^-4 C B)4.0 $\times$ 10^-5 C C)4.0 $\times$ 10^-10 C D)1.6 $\times$ 10^-10 C E)1.6 $\times$ 10^-7 C

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The charge (Q) on a capacitor is given by Q = C × V, where C is the capacitance and V is the voltage. Here, Q = 80 × 10^-9 F × 500 V = 4.0 × 10^-5 C.
