A capacitor gets a charge of `60muC` when it is connected to a battery of emf 12 V. Calculate the capacitance of the capacitor.
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
The potential difference between the plates is the same as the emf of the battery which is 12 V. Thus, the capacitance is `C=Q/V= 60muC/12V=5muF`.
