The correct answer is Capacitance.

Key Points

  • Capacitance:-
    • It is the ability of a body to store an electric charge.
    • It is measured in farads (F). (Hence Option 2 is correct)
    • 1 farad is equal to the amount of charge required to raise the potential difference between two conductors by 1 volt.
    • The formula for capacitance is C = εA/d. Here,
      C is the capacitance in farads
      ε is the permittivity of the dielectric material
      A is the area of the plates in square meters
      d is the distance between the plates in meters

Additional Information

  • Magnetic flux:-
    • It is the amount of magnetic field lines passing through a surface.
    • It is measured in Webers (Wb).
    • The symbol for magnetic flux is Φ.
  • Inductance:-
    • It is the property of a coil that opposes changes in current flowing through it.
    • It is measured in henries (H).
    • The symbol for inductance is L.
  • Resistance:-
    • It is the property of a material that opposes the flow of electric current.
    • It is measured in ohms (Ω).
    • The symbol for resistance is R.
