AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Capacitance

In a parallel plate capacitor, if \(10^{12}\) electrons pass from one plate to another, a potential difference of \(10 \mathrm{~V}\) is developed across the plates. The capacitance of the capacitor is

  1. A \(0.16 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~F}\)
  2. B \(1.6 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~F}\)
  3. C \(16 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~F}\)
  4. D \(0.8 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~F}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1.6 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~F}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Charge on each plate of capacitor has a magnitude, \(Q=N . e\) Here, \(N=10^{12}, e=1.6 \times 10^{-19}\) Potential difference between plates, \(V=10 \mathrm{~V}\) Capacitance of capacitor, \(C=\frac{Q}{V}\)…
