SUMMARY
To store a charge of 1.49 C with a potential of 105 V, a total of 9589 capacitors rated at 1.48 µF must be connected in parallel. The calculation requires using the formula for capacitance in parallel, where the total capacitance is the sum of individual capacitances. Rounding is necessary to ensure a whole number of capacitors, as fractional capacitors cannot be purchased.
