Question

Capacitance is best described as the :

• A. rate of flow of charge
• B. energy per unit charge
• C. change in electric potential per unit length
• D. charge per unit of electric potential difference
• E. electric potential differences per unit of electric current

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

charge per unit of electric potential difference

Capacitance is defined as the charge stored on the plates of capacitor per unit potential difference applied across its plates.

$\therefore$ Capacitance $C=\frac{Q}{V}$ farads
