Problem

A parallel-plate capacitor is built from two square aluminum plates, each of side length 6.0 cm6.0\,\text{cm}, separated by 1.5 mm1.5\,\text{mm} of air. The plates are then connected to a 90 V90\,\text{V} battery and fully charged. Calculate the magnitude of the charge residing on each plate (in coulombs).
