How many millicoulombs (mC) of charge is stored in a 166 µF capacitor when 150 V is applied to it?
1μF = 10-6 C 1mC = 10-3 C
Your answer should be a number with two decimal places, do not include the unit.
Solution :
The following quantities are given:
1. Capacitance of the given capacitor, C = 166 µF = 166 x 10-6 F
2. Potential difference applied across the capacitor, V = 150 Volt
For a capacitor, the relation between charge (Q), capacitance and potential difference applied is,
On rearranging, we get,
On substituting the given values of C and V, we get the amount of charge stored in the capacitor,
