how to calculate the potential difference between plates of a capacitor having unequal charge?for eg.,charge of 1 microcoulomb is given to a plate of a parallel plate capacitor of capacitance 1 microfaraday and a charge of 2 microcoulomb to the other plate.Find the potential differnce developed.Please explain the process..

Dear Ashmita,

In that case we use basic defination i.e.

Capacitance

The capacitance (C) is defined as the ratio of the stored charge (Q) to the potential difference (V) between the conductors: 

Capacitance is measured in farads (F) and 1 farad 

Parallel plate capacitor

In its simplest form, the capacitor is a set of oppositely charged parallel plates separated by a distance (d). From the equation for the potential difference of parallel plates and the definition of capacitance, the capacitance for parallel plates is
