: A capacitor has a capacitance of 100 microfarads (μF) and is connected to a 12-volt (V) battery. Calculate the charge stored in the capacitor.

Question

To answer this question, you can use the formula Q = C * V, where Q represents the charge stored in the capacitor, C is the capacitance, and V is the voltage.

Answer 1

capacitance is C=q/V

so with a 12 v battery

and a 100 uf capacitor

Q=100x10^-6

solve the equation for q so

q=100ux12 or 1200ucoulumbs
