Homework Statement



A 24-µF capacitor has an electric potential difference of 30 V across it. What is the charge on the capacitor?

Homework Equations



kq1q2/r2?, q/change in V?

The Attempt at a Solution


ive tried looking through my notes but i was absent don't understand this if you could give me a step by step i would appreciate it.

Hi isuck@physics, welcome to PF.
The relevant equation given by you is wrong. Search for the relation between capacitance , potential difference and the charge in a capacitor.
 
Do you really understand the concept of capacitance?
Just put the figures into the formula of definition
[tex]\[<br /> C = \frac{q}{U}<br /> \][/tex]
