Evidence boundary

The result follows from the stated charge and voltage in the ideal charge–voltage relation. The problem does not provide a voltage tolerance or specify the precision of the trailing zero in 120 V; the displayed equivalent values do not add measured precision. Plate dimensions, dielectric material, and a practical voltage rating are not determined.
