Question

What does 50μF mean on a capacitor?


Open in App
Solution

  1. A capacitor is a two-terminal electrical device that possesses the ability to store energy in the form of an electric charge.
  2. The mathematical relation of capacitance and potential difference:
    charge=capacitance×potentialdifferenceQ=CV
  3. 1microCoulomb=10-6Coulomb
    1μC=10-6C
  4. 1microFarad=10-6Farad
    1μF=10-6F
  5. The 1C amount of charge that passes through 1Volt potential difference creates 1F capacitance.
  6. 50μC=50×10-6Ccharge passes through 1Volt potential difference and creates 50μF capacitance.
