Capacitance C defined as:
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
Q/V
Capacitance (C) is the ability of a body to store electric charge. For a conductor, the charge Q is proportional to its potential V. Q=CV⟹C=VQ
- The SI unit is the Farad (F), where 1 F=1 Coulomb/Volt.
- Capacitance depends only on the geometry (size, shape) and the medium (dielectric).
