30.
A dynamic RAM cell which holds 5 V has to be refreshed every 20 ms so that the stored voltage does not fall by more than 0.5 V. If the cell has a constant discharge current of 0.1 pA, the storage capacitance of cell is
4 x 10-6 F
4 x 10-9 F
4 x 10-12 F
4 x 10-15 F
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Q = 20 x 10-3 x 0.1 x 10-12 = 2 x 10-15 C and .

I = Q/t ; Q=It.
Q= (0.1pA)(20ms) = 2x10^-15 C.

C = Q/V.
C = 2x10^-15 / 0.5 V = 4x10^-15 F.
