Question

what is capacitance​

Answer 1

Hey!

Capacitance :- Charge required on a conductor to set it's potential unit Volt !!

Capacitance of Conductor =

$= charge \: on \: conductor \div potential \: on \: conductor$

• it is a scalar quantity
• SI unit is Farad ( F )
• dimensional formula is
• ${m}^{ - 1} {l}^{ - 2} {t}^{4} {a}^{2}$
• where m = mass { M )

l= lenght { L )

t = time ( T )

a = current { A }

Answer 2

Answer:

It is defined as the ratio of charge given to the conductor to the potential developed in the conductor.

It's unit is farad (F).

A conductor has a capacitance of one farad if a charge of 1coulomb given to raises its potential by 1 volt.
