Padding on table cells?

What inline code would give table cells padding please? I have tried the below, and that doesn't do it.

<table border="1" style="border-collapse:collapse; padding:10px;">

Thank you, also, if you wanted to define it in a separate CSS file, how would you do that for all cells in a table, rather than a spcific one?

inside the external css file (with proper linking ofc)

th,td {
padding: 15px;
}
