3 [Turn over 1 A capacitor is a device used to store electric charges. It consists of a pair of conducting plates. The capacitance C of a capacitor is defined as the ratio of the charge Q on either plate to the magnitude of the potential difference V between the plates, as depicted in the formula: = QC V Which of the following shows the SI base un
