Question

How much charge is on each plate of a 3.00-μF capacitor when it is connected toa 15.0-V battery? b) If this same capacitor is connected to a 2.00-V battery, what charge is stored?

Answer 1

(a) 45 micro coulomb

(b) 6 micro Coulomb

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 3 micro Farad = 3 x 10^-6 Farad

V = 15 V

(a) q = C x V

where, q be the charge.

q = 3 x 10^-6 x 15 = 45 x 10^-6 C = 45 micro coulomb

(b)

V = 2 V, C = 3 micro Farad = 3 x 10^-6 Farad

q = C x V

where, q be the charge.

q = 3 x 10^-6 x 2 = 6 x 10^-6 C = 6 micro coulomb
