The potential on the plates of capacitor are \(+20 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(-20 \mathrm{~V}\). The charge on the plate is \(40 \mathrm{C}\). The capacitance of the capacitor is

  1. A \(2 \mathrm{~F}\)
  2. B \(1 \mathrm{~F}\)
  3. C \(4 \mathrm{~F}\)
  4. D \(0.5 \mathrm{~F}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1 \mathrm{~F}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} \mathrm{V} & =20-(-20)=40 \text { volt } \\ \mathrm{Q} & =40 \mathrm{C} \\ \mathrm{C} & =\frac{\mathrm{Q}}{\mathrm{V}} \\ \therefore \quad \mathrm{C} & =\frac{40}{40} \\ \therefore \quad \mathrm{C} & =1 \mathrm{~F}\end{aligned}\)
