A parallel-plate capacitor has a capacitance of 20 µF.What potential difference across the plates is required to store 7.2 x 10^-4 C on this capacitor? A)36 V B)2.2 x 10^-2 V C)1.4 x 10^-8 V D)68 V

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The potential difference (V) required can be calculated using the formula Q = CV, where Q is the charge and C is the capacitance. Rearranging gives V = Q/C = (7.2 x 10^-4 C) / (20 x 10^-6 F) = 36 V.
