Question

How much charge is stored in a capacitor?

Answer 1

Capacitor:

Two metal plates plus a dielectric substance make up a capacitor. The metal plates are parallel, but the dielectric lies between them to prevent them from touching.

1. The formula can be used to calculate the charge stored in a capacitor.
2. $Q=CV$ where,

$Q$ is the charge on the capacitor,

$C$ is the capacitance of the capacitor,

$V$ is the voltage applied across the capacitor.

3. When a voltage is placed across two parallel plate capacitors, one produces a positive charge and the other produces a negative charge.

4. The amount of charge generated on the capacitor is determined by the voltage applied.
