Understanding the Concepts

* Capacitance (C): Measured in Farads (F), it represents a capacitor's ability to store an electrical charge.

* Voltage (V): Measured in Volts (V), it represents the electrical potential difference across the capacitor.

* Charge (Q): Measured in Coulombs (C), it represents the amount of electrical charge stored on the capacitor's plates.

The Formula

The relationship between these quantities is:

* Q = C * V

Applying the Formula

1. Convert units:

* 0.01 microfarad (µF) = 0.01 x 10^-6 Farads (F)

* 1 kilovolt (kV) = 1 x 10^3 Volts (V)

2. Plug the values into the formula:

* Q = (0.01 x 10^-6 F) * (1 x 10^3 V)

3. Calculate the charge:

* Q = 1 x 10^-3 Coulombs (C)

Therefore, the charge of a 0.01 microfarad capacitor with a voltage of 1 kilovolt is 1 milliCoulomb (mC).
