A 2 μF capacitor is charged to 6 V. How much charge does it store?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 12 μC
- Step 1: Q = CV. Step 2. Q = 2 × 6 = 12 μC. Answer: 12 μC. Why not the others: 0.333 μC is what you get if you divide C by V. 36 μC is what you get if you give the energy formula value. 8 μC is what you get if you add the numbers.
