Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A capacitor of capacitance 5 µF is charged to a voltage of 10V. What is the charge stored in the capacitor? (2022)
Correct Answer: 50µC
  • Step 1: Identify the capacitance of the capacitor, which is given as 5 microfarads (µF).
  • Step 2: Identify the voltage to which the capacitor is charged, which is given as 10 volts (V).
  • Step 3: Use the formula for charge stored in a capacitor: Charge (Q) = Capacitance (C) × Voltage (V).
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: Q = 5µF × 10V.
  • Step 5: Calculate the charge: 5µF × 10V = 50 microcoulombs (µC).
  • Capacitance and Charge Relationship – The relationship between capacitance, voltage, and charge is given by the formula Q = C × V, where Q is the charge, C is the capacitance, and V is the voltage.
