ent 2: Ch 16 Material Begin Date: 7/2/2017 7:00:00 AM- -Due (11%) Problem 4: Suppose you wanted to store 15 pC of charge in a capacitor across a voltage of 120 V cotanOasin
Solution
The charge Q stored in a capacitor is given by:
Q = CV
so,
15 x 10-6 = C (120)
=> C = 15 x 10-6 / 120 = 125 x 10-9 F = 125 nF.
