The charge on one plate of a capacitor is +20 nC and the charge on the other plate is - 20 nC. If the potential difference between the plates is 300 Volts, what is the capacitance of the capacitor?
Added by Danielle R.
Step 1
Step 1: Recall the formula for capacitance of a capacitor, which is given by C = Q/V, where C is the capacitance, Q is the charge on one plate, and V is the potential difference between the plates. Show more…

The charge on one plate of a capacitor is + 40 nC and the charge on the other plate is - 40 nC. If the potential difference between the plates is 400 Volts, what is the capacitance of the capacitor? (pay attention to units) Capacitance = Farads

Calculate the capacitance of a capacitor in which the plates are charged to 5 nC, and the potential difference between the plates is 100 V. What is the potential difference across a capacitor whose capacitance is 10 microfarads, in which the plates are charged to 10 nC?
(I) The two plates of a capacitor hold +2500$\mu$C and -2500$\mu$C of charge, respectively, when the potential difference is 960 V. What is the capacitance?
