Answer:

+ 0.07 C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Potential difference (V) = 12 V

Energy (E) = 0.418 J

Charge (Q) =?

The energy (E) , potential difference (V) and charge (Q) are related by the following equation:

E = ½QV

With the above formula, we can obtain the charge as follow:

Potential difference (V) = 12 V

Energy (E) = 0.418 J

Charge (Q) =?

E = ½QV

0.418 = ½ × Q × 12

0.418 = Q × 6

Divide both side by 6

Q = 0.418 / 6

Q = + 0.07 C
