Question
The capacitance of a pixel of a CCD is 3.2 pF. A pulse of light is incident on the pixel and as a result, \({\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{\text{4}}}\) electrons are ejected from the pixel. The magnitude of the change in potential of the pixel is
A. \(5.0 \times {10^{ - 16}}{\text{ V}}\)
B. \(5.0 \times {10^{ - 4}}{\text{ V}}\)
C. \(2.0 \times {10^3}{\text{ V}}\)
D. \(2.0 \times {10^{15}}{\text{ V}}\)
