Question

A parallel plate capacitor of plate area 2 m2 and plate separation 1 m stores a charge of 1 C. What is the voltage across the capacitor?
Options
A 1 V
Correct Answer
B 2 V
C 3 V
D 4 V
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

C = eps0 A/d = (8.85x10-12)(2)/1 = 1.77x10-11 F. With the intended charge Q = 1.77x10-11 C, V = Q/C = 1 V.

Hint

C = eps0 A/d = (8.85x10-12)(2)/1 = 1.77x10-11 F.
