To find the capacitance of the capacitor given the potential difference and the number of electrons transferred, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the total charge (Q) transferred The charge of one electron (e) is approximately \(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\) coulombs. If \(n\) electrons are transferred, the total charge \(Q\) can be calculated using the formula: \[ Q = n \times e \] Given that \(n = 2 \times 10^{12}\) electrons, we can substitute this value into the formula. ...
