SUMMARY
The charge on a 6.4 µF capacitor connected to a 47.0 V EMF source is calculated using the formula Q = C(ΔV). By substituting the values, the charge Q equals 6.4 µF multiplied by 47.0 V, resulting in a charge of 0.0002992 coulombs or 299.2 µC. This calculation confirms that the capacitor will hold this charge after being connected for a long time.
