voltage to charge capacitor

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

What voltage is required to store 7.50 x 10-5 C of charge on the plates of a 7.0 µF capacitor?

i believe the equation to be: q = CV

so V = q/C

i've tried plugging in the numbers to this equation and don't get the correct answer. is 7.0 uF need to be converted to a more compatible number?

thankyou.

Yes, you need to work in one set of units, making any conversions that are necessary, and you need to do the right things with numeric prefixes like "micro" = 10^-6.

Write out your equation again for us, this time including the units and prefix multiplications, and we'll see where you are.
