VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

This is Giancoli Answers with Mr. Dychko. The charge that flows from each terminal of the battery that's charging a capacitor equals the charge the builds up on each plate of the capacitor and the formula for that is the capacitance times the voltage and so that's five times ten to the minus six farads capacitance times the 12 volts of the battery and that makes six times ten to the minus five coulombs.
