Answer

$\frac{C}{A} = 6.79\times 10^{-4}~F/m^2$

Work Step by Step

Note that the number of electrons is the volume multiplied by the electron density. That is, the number of electrons is: $~~A~d~(8.49\times 10^{28})$ We can find $\frac{C}{A}$: $CV = q$ $CV = A~d~(8.49\times 10^{28}~m^{-3})(1.6\times 10^{-19}~C)$ $\frac{C}{A} = \frac{d~(8.49\times 10^{28}~m^{-3})(1.6\times 10^{-19}~C)}{V}$ $\frac{C}{A} = \frac{(1.00\times 10^{-12}~m)~(8.49\times 10^{28}~m^{-3})(1.6\times 10^{-19}~C)}{20.0~V}$ $\frac{C}{A} = 6.79\times 10^{-4}~F/m^2$
