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?
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.
