Worksheet: Defining Capacitance

In this worksheet, we will practice how to relate capacitance to the net charge stored on surfaces and the electric potential difference between the surfaces.

Q1:

What capacitance is needed to store 3.00 µC of charge at a voltage of 120 V?

Q2:

A set of parallel plates has a capacitance of 5.0 µF. How much charge must be added to the plates to increase the potential difference between them by 100 V?

Q3:

Calculate the voltage applied to a 2.00-F capacitor when it holds 3.10 µC of charge.

Q4:

What charge is stored in a 180.0-F capacitor when 120.0 V is applied to it?

Q5:

What voltage must be applied to a 13.00 nF capacitor to store 0.30 mC of charge?

Q6:

What is the charge stored when 12.50 V is applied to a 5.00 pF capacitor?
