2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
easy

The potentials of the two plates of capacitor are $+10\,V$ and $-10\, V$. The charge on one of the plates is $40 \,C$. The capacitance of the capacitor is........$F$

A

$2$

B

$4$

C

$0.5$

D

$0.25$

Solution

(a) The potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor is $10\,V – ( – 10\,V) = 20\,V.$
Capacitance $ = \frac{Q}{V} = \frac{{40}}{{20}} = 2\,F.$
