Question 1 of 27070

Q

The unit of capacitance is:

🔍 Key Concepts

• Capacitance is a measure of how much electric charge a device can store per unit voltage • The SI (International System of Units) assigns exactly one official base unit or derived unit for each physical quantity • Prefixes like micro- (µ), kilo-, and milli- change the size of a unit but not the type of unit

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: what is the official SI unit used in physics/electronics formulas when writing C = Q/V? • Which of these choices is a scaled version of a unit rather than the base derived unit itself? • Does any option list more than one distinct unit, and if so, would that make sense for a question asking for "The unit" (singular)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option corresponds to the standard SI unit of capacitance • Confirm which option(s) are just multiples or submultiples (using prefixes) of that standard unit • Check the wording: the question says "The unit of capacitance" (singular), so be careful with any answer that effectively names more than one unit
