Final answer:

To calculate the stored charge in a capacitor, you need the capacitance and the voltage across it. Without a specified voltage for the 4 μF capacitor, the charge cannot be determined. If voltage was provided, the charge would be calculated as capacitance multiplied by voltage.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the charge stored by a capacitor, you need to use the relationship charge (Q) = capacitance (C) × voltage (V). However, the original question does not provide a specific voltage value for the 4 μF capacitor. Typically, if the voltage were given, you could easily calculate the charge by multiplying the capacitance value by that voltage. For example, if a 4 μF capacitor is connected to a 5 V power source, then the stored charge would be Q = 4 μF × 5 V = 20 μC (microcoulombs).

Without a given voltage, it is not possible to calculate the exact amount of stored charge in the 4 μF capacitor. To answer this type of question, the voltage across that capacitor when it's charged would be required.
