Homework Statement
An RC circuit is made of a 2.2 kOhm resistor and a 0.001 microF capacitor.
The circuit is connected to a 10V source of emf for 5 x 10^-5 s. What is the
resulting charge on the capacitor after that?
Homework Equations
Q(t) = -ECe^(-t/RC) + EC , where E is the emf and C is the capacitance
The Attempt at a Solution
it seems like a simple plug-in problem, so I used E = 10V, C = 1 x 10^-9 F, R = 2200 Ohms, and t = 5 x 10^-5 s.
edit: oops.. i did the calculation wrong.. now i get:
Q = 2.27 x 10^-11 C
is this answer correct now and did i do the problem correctly?
