Model answer

What a good answer should say

  • The capacitance of the circuit is 2 F.

Explanation

Why this works

The correct answer is The capacitance of the circuit is 2 F.. This is correct for Capacitance because the stem is testing transformers; the chosen option keeps the field quantity, source interaction, direction, and unit consistent.

The alternatives are weaker because they mix gravitational, electric, magnetic, orbital, or transformer ideas, or they attach the right number to the wrong physical meaning.
