The capacitance is defined as the maximum charge stored in a capacitor, Q, divided by the voltage applied, V:
[tex]C= \frac{Q}{V} [/tex]
The capacitor is initially charged with the battery of 108 V, so the the initial charge on the capacitor can be found by re-arranging the previous formula:
[tex]Q=CV=(10 \mu F)(108 V)=1080 \mu C[/tex]
