Answer

$K=372$ Nm

Work Step by Step

We know that; $U=\frac{Q^2}{2C}$ The formula can be rearranged as: $C=\frac{Q^2}{2U}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $C=\frac{(175\times 10^{-6})^2}{2(5.70\times 10^{-6})}=0.002686F$ Now, we find $K$ using $K=\frac{1}{C}$; $K=\frac{1}{0.002686}=372$ Nm
