Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Farad
1. Concept:

The standard unit of electrical capacitance is named in honor of the English physicist Michael Faraday, honoring his contributions to electromagnetism.

2. Formula:

$$ 1 \text{ Farad} = 1 \frac{\text{Coulomb}}{\text{Volt}} $$

3. Solution:

  • By standard definition in the International System of Units (SI), capacitance is measured in Farads (F).


4. Why other options are incorrect:

Coulomb measures electric charge. Volt measures electric potential difference. Ampere measures electric current.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
