Homework Statement
A capacitor is charged to 1 coulomb; the capacitance is 8.00×10-5 farads. Then a switch is closed which puts the capacitor in a closed circuit with a resistor; the resistance is 8.60×101 ohms. Calculate the charge on the capacitor after 4.00 milliseconds. (1 ms = 0.001 s)
Homework Equations
I=V/R
C=Q/V
The Attempt at a Solution
C=Q/V=8E-5 F=1/V V=12500 V
I=V/R=12500/86=145.348 A
145.348 C/S = .145348 C/mS
.145348*4=.5814 C transferred in that 4 milliseconds
1-.5814=.4186 C left
So the answer would be .4186 C I think but I'm getting an "Incorrect Answer" apparently
