Expert Solution
Step 1: Know the relation between charge and capacitance:

The amount of charge stored in a capacitor is given by the formula,

Q equals C V                                                          (1)

where Q is the amount of charge stored in a capacitor, C is its capacitance, and V is the potential difference applied across it.
