PHY 102 Coulomb's law and Electric Fields Objective Question

Question

What is the defining equation for capacitance (C) of any capacitor?
Options
A C = qV
B C = V/q
C C = q/V
Correct Answer
D C = q²V
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 12 defines capacitance as 'Magnitude of charge on either conductor / Magnitude of potential difference between conductors V', which is C = q/V.

Hint

Capacitance measures how much charge a capacitor can store per unit of potential difference across it.
