P-6 Please help me with this problem very clearly with step by step explanation. Needed both A and B please Question: A. It takes 25 J of energy to move a 0.20 mC charge from one plate of a 16 µF capacitor to the other. How much charge is on each plate? B. To do part A, you probably assumed the total charge on each plate was much bigger  than 0.2 mC, so the movement of the 0.2 mC charge doesn’t change the voltage much.  Was this assumption correct?
