Answer: B. 10-6F
The capacitance of 1 μF is equal to 10-6F
Solution:
Capacitance is the property of an element or circuit to store or collect energy in the form of an electric charge. The capacitance is measured in farads.
The electric charge stored by the capacitor per unit potential difference is known as the capacitance of 1 farad.
C=Q/V
The capacitance of1 mF=10-3 F
The capacitance of 1 μF=10-6 F
The capacitance of 1 nF=10-9 F
The capacitance of 1 pF=10-12 F
Hence,
The capacitance of 1 μF is equal to 10-6F
Option B is the correct answer.
