Exam-style question
Try this first
If a capacitor has a capacitance of 5 F and is charged to a potential difference of 10 V, how much charge is stored in the capacitor?.
- A.50 C
- B.5 C
- C.10 C
- D.15 C
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- 50 C
Explanation
Why this works
Using the formula Q = CV, we substitute the values: Q = 5 F * 10 V = 50 C. Therefore, the charge stored is 50 coulombs.
