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

Question

Which of the following are common SI units used for capacitance, as mentioned in the text?
Options
A Farads (F), microfarads (µF), and nanofarads (nF)
Correct Answer
B Volts (V), kilovolts (kV), and megavolts (MV)
C Joules (J), kilojoules (kJ), and megajoules (MJ)
D Coulombs (C), microcoulombs (µC), and nanocoulombs (nC)
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The text states: 'For q in coulombs and V in volts, C is in farads (F). The farad is a very large capacitance; one usually works with microfarads (1.00 µF = 1.00 × 10⁻⁶ F) or nanofarads (1.00 nF = 1.00 × 10⁻⁹ F).' (Page 12).

Hint

The question asks for units of capacitance.
