Question

Can we give any amount of charge to a capacitor?


Open in App
Solution

Capacitance is the ability to store charge and is denoted by C

The maximum amount of charge that can be stored in a capacitor is given by:

Qmax=C×V

where Qmaxis the maximum charge stored and Vis the potential difference applied.

This equation states that a capacitor can store charge only up to a certain limit marked by Qmax.
