Question

what is the charge on capacitor

Answer 1

The capacitors ability to store this electrical charge ( Q ) between its plates is proportional to the applied voltage, V for a capacitor of known capacitance in Farads. Note that capacitance C is ALWAYS positive and never negative.

The greater the applied voltage the greater will be the charge stored on the plates of the capacitor. Likewise, the smaller the applied voltage the smaller the charge. Therefore, the actual charge Q on the plates of the capacitor and can be calculated as:

Charge on a Capacitor



Answer 2

Answer:

The stored electric charge in acapacitor, Q (in coulombs, abbreviated C) is equal to the product of thecapacitance C (in Farads, abbreviated F) of the capacitor, and the voltage V (in volts, abbreviated V) across its terminals. That is, Q = C٠V. For example, if C = 33uF and V = 20V, then Q = (33٠10^-6)٠(20) = 660uC.
