A capacitor is connected to a battery of 20 V, so that a charge of `100muC` is obtained at the plates. The capacitance of the capacitor is

A

`6muF`

B

`5muF`

C

`9.5muF`

D

`10muF`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`V=20V, Q=100muC, C=?`
`C=Q/V=(100xx10^(-6))/20=5xx10^(-6)F=5muF`
