Homework Statement



A capacitor stores 0.12 J energy when connected to 6 V voltage source. What is the capacitance of this capacitor? (UNIT:uF)

I am just not sure how to go about answering this question.

The formula for capacitance is C=(Q/V), but I am not sure how to incorporate energy into that formula.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
