PHY 102 Coulomb's law and Electric Fields Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

The capacitance (C) of any capacitor is defined as the ratio of which two quantities?
Options
A Magnitude of potential difference to magnitude of charge on either conductor (V/q)
B Magnitude of charge on either conductor to magnitude of potential difference between conductors (q/V)
Correct Answer
C Work done to the potential difference (W/V)
D Electric field to charge (E/q)
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The text states: 'The capacitance (C) of any capacitor is defined as: Capacitance = Magnitude of charge on either conductor / Magnitude of potential difference between conductors = q/V' (Page 12, Equation 25.8).

Hint

Refer to the definition of capacitance on page 12.
