Question

What charge is stored in a (180 , mu F) capacitor when (120 , V) is applied to it?

a) (2.16 , C)
b) (0.0216 , C)
c) (216 , C)
d) (0.216 , C)

Answer 1

The charge stored in a 180 μF capacitor when 120 V is applied to it is 0.0216 C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the charge stored in a capacitor, we can use the formula:

Q = C x V

Where Q is the charge stored, C is the capacitance, and V is the voltage applied.

Plugging in the given values:

Q = (180 μF)(120 V) = 21.6 mC

So, the charge stored in the capacitor when 120 V is applied to it is 0.0216 C.
