Question

Picofarad is the unit of:

• A. electric charge
• B. electric capacity
• C. intensity of electric field
• D. electric flux

Hint:

Capacitance measures the ability of a system to store charge per unit potential difference. Unit: Farad (F).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

A picofarad (pF) is a unit of capacitance commonly used to measure very small capacitances. It is defined as: \[ 1 \, \text{pF} = 10^{-12} \, \text{F}. \] Here, the farad (F) is the SI unit of capacitance, and the prefix "pico-" denotes a factor of \(10^{-12}\). Thus, one picofarad is one trillionth of a farad.
