• A. capacity of conductor
• B. inductance of conductor
• C. resistance of conductor
• D. none of th

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

capacity of conductor

Answer 2

The capacitance $C$ of a conductor is defined as the charge $Q$ required to raise the potential $V$ by one unit, i.e.,

$$C = \frac{Q}{V}.$$

Thus, the given quantity $Q$ (when $V = 1$) is the capacitance.
