A) Q is the net charge on the capacitor
B) C depends on Q and V
C) C do not depend on Q
D) V is the potential of a single plate of the capacitor (if we assuming parallel plate capacitor)
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Idea Let us consider a parallel plate capacitor In Q = CV, Q is the charge on a single plate of the capacitor. \[{{Q}_{net}}\]on the capacitor is zero. The capacitance is an intrinsic property of the capacitor, it does not depend on Q and V. Here V is potential difference. Net charge on a capacitor\[=+Q-Q=0\]and C neither depend on Q nor on V. It is an intrinsic characteristic of a capacitor. For parallel plate capacitor, C\[=\frac{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}A}{d}\] Here, V is not potential, it is potential difference between the plates of the capacitor.
