If a 0.40-uF capacitor is connected to a 9.0-V battery how much charge is on each plate of the capacitor?
The units of capacitance are called farads. A one farad capacitor is a capacitor with 1 volt potential difference with 1 coulomb of charge on the capacitor, C = Q/V or Q=CV So the charge held on your capacitor is Q = CV = 9Volts * 0.40*10-6Farads=3.6*10-6 Coulombs
What is an importance of capacitance?
capacitor is a device to store charge .it is based on the concept that when the potential of the capacitor is decreased it can gain some more charge so Q = CV where V is potential and Q is the charge stored then C is the capacitance. capacitance is the ability of the capacitor to store charge. expression for capacitance is C=ɛA/d where ɛis permittivity and A is area of capacitor plates ,d is plate separation.
What is the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor with a dielectric of oil-soaked paper The dielectric constant is 3.8 the distance between the plates is 0.00625 inches and the plate area is 0.25?
3.42*10^-11 farad.
What are static capacitors?
These are capacitors that are connected in a circuit in parallel with the load. A circuit with low, lagging (inductive) power factor (pf) can be improved by those static capacitors by decreasing the circuit's inductive reactive power (wasted power consumed for magnetic induction of motors) reducing it's pf to almost unity (1).A circuit with low power factor means it consumes more power which is actually not being used or wasted. Putting a static capacitor for pf correction improves the circuit.CommentPower-factor improvement doesn't 'improve the circuit', and it has no effect on the power of a load, it merely reduces its load current.
How can a capacitor filter the AC and DC?
A capacitor consists of two plates separated from one another by an insulator. These plates are normally thin foil and can be sandwiched around a very thin insulator and wrapped into a small package. Since there is an insulator between the plates, DC connected to the two plates cannot flow as long as you do not exceed the breakdown voltage of the insulator. AC current is a different story. Because the insulator is very thin and the effective plate area is relatively large, a negative charge building up on one plate causes electrons to be repelled from the opposite plate, and as the charge on the first plate reverses and becomes positive, the electrons in the opposite plate are attracted back again. This results in a matching alternating current flow on the opposite side of the capacitor.
What does the farad rating mean in capacitors?
The rating or 'size' of a capacitor, called its "capacitance", is related the amount of charge the capacitor can store, to the amount of energy it holds when it stores some charge, and to the opposition of the capacitor to the apparent flow of alternating current through it. If a capacitor has a capacitance of 1 farad, then -- One coulomb of charge stripped off of one plate and added to the other plate produces 1 volt of potential difference between the plates. -- The energy stored in the capacitor is 1/2 the square of the voltage across it. -- Its impedance is (0.159 divided by the frequency) ohms. The farad is an enormous capacitance. A typical capacitor used in a 'lumped' circuit ... the kind of construction where you would buy a capacitor and solder it in ... has a capacitance in the range of maybe 10 picofarads (trillionths of a farad) to maybe 100 microfarads (millionths of a farad).
Can a parallel plate capacitor of 1 farad capacitance having plate separation of 1 mm be actually constructed in laboratory?
no

How much charge is on each plate of a 4.00 micro-Farad capacitor when connected to a 12.0-V battery?
q = C x V, The amount of charge on each plate is equal and the same as q. So: q = 0.000004 x 12 = .000048 or 48 uQ www.electroboom.com
How a capacitor store charge?
by using capacitor plates. The length,area ,thickness and type of the plate determines the amount of charge a capacitor can store.

Does a charged capacitor have an identical level of charge on both plates?
No, in a charged capacitor, one plate has a positive charge and the other plate has a negative charge. The magnitude of the charges on the plates is equal and opposite, resulting in a net charge of zero for the entire capacitor.
What is stored charge?
In a capacitor it is a build up of electrons on a plate.
What happens to a capacitance if the plates have a charge that is doubled?
The capacitance won't change, or it won't change significantly. The capacitance is simply the charge/voltage ratio - and if the charge doubles, the voltage will also double. Capacitance is determined by the physical properties of the capacitor (plate separation, plate area, and dielectric). The unit for capacitance (farad) is a coulomb per volt. So the capacitance is the amount of charge (coulombs) that the plates will hold at a given voltage.
When a capacitor is neutralized where does excess charge go back to?
A capacitor is "charged" when the charge on the two plates is not the same. When you neutralize or "discharge" the capacitor you are transferring charge back to the low plate, so that the charge on both plates is the same.
An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery and allowed to charge up Now a slab of dielectric material is placed between the plates of the capacitor while the capacitor is still?
the charge on the capacitor had increased.
How can you identify that which plate of capacitor is positively charged?
FOR tESTING THE SIGN OF CHARGE ON BODY, a device called GOLD LEAF ELECTROSCOPE. When the disc of a positively charged is touched with any plate of the charge capacitor. IF the divergence of gold leaf increases, then the plate is positively charged and if the divergence in the leaf decrease then the plate of the capacitor is nagatively charged.
