Question

10 uF capacitor is connected to 100V battery. Compute
the charge on the capacitor.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Charge on capacitor is 10^-3 coulomb or

1 milicoulomb.

Explanation:

Given,

C = 10uF = 10 × 10^-6 F

V = 100 volt

Q = CV

Q = 10 × 10^-6 × 100 coulomb

Q = 1000 × 10^-6 coulomb

Q = 10^-3 coulomb

or

Q = 1 milicoulomb

[ 10^-3 coulomb = 1 mili coulomb]

Here,

Q is the charge on the capacitor.

V is the voltage of capacitor.

C is the capacitance of capacitor.

F is the farad , which is a si unit of capacitance.

Hence,

Charge on capacitor is 10^-3 coulomb or

1 milicoulomb.

CAPACITOR

• An electrical device characterized by its capacity to store an electric charge.
• Si unit of capacitor is farad (F).
