Each plate of a capacitor stores a charge of magnitude 1 mC when a 100-V potential difference is applied.The capacitance is:
A)5 $\mu$F
B)10 $\mu$F
C)50 $\mu$F
D)100 $\mu$F
E)none of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the formula Q=CV, where Q is the charge, C is the capacitance, and V is the potential difference, we can solve for C:
C = Q/V = (1 mC)/(100 V) = 10 μF. Therefore, the capacitance is 10 μF, which is option B.
