Question

Which expression gives the capacitance of a capacitor?

Options

• \[C = Q + V\]

• \[C = \frac{Q}{V}\]

• \[C = QV\]

• \[C = \frac{V}{Q}\]

Answer 1

Capacitance is the ratio of the charge \(Q\) given to one conductor to the potential difference \(V\) between the conductors. Therefore, \(C = \frac{Q}{V}\).
