Question

Farad is the unit of _______
1. electric conductance
2. capacitance
3. magnetic flux
4. magnetic flux density

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : capacitance

The correct answer is capacitance.

• Farad is the unit of capacitance.

•  Capacitance is the property of an electric conductor measured by the amount of separated electric charge that can be stored on it per unit change in electrical potential.
• It is given by-
•   \(C = {q\over V}\).
  • Where, C= Capacitance, q=amount of charge, V=potential difference between the conductors.
• Capacitance in electric circuits is introduced by a device called a capacitor.

• Weber is the unit of Magnetic flux.
• The reciprocal of resistance of a conductor is called its conductance.
  • Its SI unit is ohm^-1.
• The magnetic flux density of a point in a magnetic field is the force experienced by a north pole of unit strength placed at that point.
  • Its SI unit is Newton/ampere-metre Weber/meter or tesla (T).
