A $10.0 μ F$ parallel-plate capacitor with circular plates is connected to a 12.0 V battery. What is the charge on each plate (in $μ C$ )?

Open in App

Solution

We know that charge on the capacitor , $Q = C V = 10 \times 12 = 120 μ C$
The magnitude charges of each plate are equal i.e $120 μ C$ but in opposite sign.
