    The energy stored on a capacitor can be expressed in terms of the work done by the battery. Voltage represents energy per unit charge, so the work to move a charge element dq from the negative plate to the positive plate is equal to V dq, where V is the voltage on the capacitor.

    U = 0.5CV^2

    0.02 = 0.5 (500x10^-6) V^2

    Solve for V

    V = 8.94 volts
