Correct Answer

D

Explanation

Q=CV=0.1x10=1CTo calculate the charge stored in a capacitor, you can use the formula Q = C * V, where Q is the charge, C is the capacitance, and V is the voltage across the capacitor.

In this case, the capacitance (C) is given as 0.1F, and the voltage (V) is 10V. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

Q = 0.1F * 10V
Q = 1C

Therefore, the charge stored in the 0.1F capacitor when a 10V supply is connected across it is 1 Coulomb (C).
