What is the definition of capacitance?.
- A.Charge stored per unit potential difference
- B.Potential difference per unit charge stored
- C.Energy stored per unit charge
- D.Charge per unit time
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Charge stored per unit potential difference
Explanation
Why this works
Capacitance is defined as the amount of charge stored per unit potential difference across a capacitor. This definition highlights the relationship between charge and voltage, which is crucial in understanding how capacitors function in circuits.
The key difference is that capacitance specifically relates charge to voltage, while the other options do not accurately describe this relationship.
