Chapter 27, Problem 1PLA

To determine

The definition of capacitance.

Answer to Problem 1PLA

Capacitance is defined as charge per unit voltage.

Explanation of Solution

Capacitance is the ability of the capacitor to store electric charge in it. And it is defined as the charge per unit voltage.

Mathematically,

$C=\frac{Q}{V}$

Here, $C$ is the capacitance, $Q$ is the charge and $V$ is the voltage.

Conclusion:

Thus, capacitance is defined as charge per unit voltage.
