Can I get help with this physics problem?

Question

anonymous · Answer

An AA battery is connected to a parallel-plate capacitor having  plates spaced 0.80 apart. How much charge does the battery supply to each plate?

anonymous · Answer

The charge on a capacitor is proportional to the voltage applied and the capacitance.  CV=Q  For a AA battery, V = 1.5Volts, we'll need some additional information to find the capacitance.  For a parralel plate capacitor, C = eta * area / distance.  We'll need the area of the plates and the medium in between.

Let's assume it's just free space. The area is not given, so I don't think that's the right way to go about it.

Are you given any other information?  Do you have any idea what units the answer should be in?  It's possible to express the information in coulombs per meter squared.  for eta *1.5/0.08 = 1.66 x 10^-10 coulombs per meter squared
