Question

If the charge of 10μC and 2μC are given to two plates of a capacitor which are connected across a battery of 12V, find the capacitance of the capacitor.
  1. 0.33μF
  2. 0.66μF
  3. 0.41μF
  4. 0.5μF

A
0.33μF
B
0.5μF
C
0.41μF
D
0.66μF
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Capacitance of of capacitor with different charges on plates is given by:
C=Q1Q22V
Substituting values,
C=10(2)2×12=0.5 μF
