What is capacitance?
Think about how much charge can be stored when a voltage is applied.
What is the SI unit of capacitance?
Recall the term used to describe how we measure capacitance.
What is capacitance?
It's about charge storage in response to voltage.
What units is capacitance measured in?
Think of the unit name that sounds similar to capacitance.
A capacitor with an area of 0.1 m² and a separation of 0.005 m has a dielectric constant of 5. Calculate the capacitance.
Apply the dielectric formula and substitute values correctly.
If a capacitor originally has a capacitance of 6 μF and is charged to 12 volts, then doubled the plate separation without changing anything else, what is the new capacitance?
Remember how distance affects capacitance.
