Step 8: a. Which equation for capacitance (C) is consistent with your ndings from Steps 6 and 7? C=QV _ c=onT _ C=V/Q b. Based on your selection above, what is the unit of measure for capacitance? Use only coulombs and volts; write the unit using symbols, and write the unit using words. c. The abbreviated unit for capacitance is the farad (F) in honor of British physicist, Michael Faraday. Step 9: Make side-by-side sketches of high and low capacitance plate congurations. (The capacitance meter will measure capacitance even when there is no charge on the plates and no voltage between them.)
