Question

‘Capacitance of a capacitor is 6 F’ – give the meaning of the statement on the basis of charge and

potential


plz give me the correct ans ​

Answer 1

Answer:

capacitance = charge per unit voltage

In other words if you connect this capacitor to a one volt battery it will store 6 coulombs.

or, 6 Farad capacitor could be holding a charge of 6 Coulombs at 1 Volt, or 12 Coulombs at 2 Volts and lots of other possibilities!

Answer 2

we have to give the meaning of the statement on the basis of charge and potential, “Capacitance of a capacitor is 6F ”

solution : Capacitor : it is a device which stores electrical energy in its plates in the form of electrical charge.

capacitance of the capacitor is the quantity of charge stored in the capacitor per unit voltage.

experimentally, it was observed that,

charge stored in capacitor is directly proportional to potential across it.

i.e., Q ∝ V ⇒ Q = CV

⇒C = Q/V

so capacitance of capacitor, C is the charged stored in it per unit voltage.

so 1 Farad (unit of capacitance of capacitor) is defined as “ the capacitance of a capacitor which requires a charge of 1C to establish a potential difference of 1V between its plates.”

now you can explain the meaning of given statement. that is...

“ capacitance of a capacitor which requires a charge of 6 Coulomb's to establish a potential difference of one volt between its plates.”
