no relevant euqations given.

The Attempt at a Solution


I don't even know how to begin with the question:(

Also how do i apply kirchhoffs law on the capacitor?Its not even on google. [/B]

The problem supposes that the circuit has been connected for a long time, so it is in steady state.
Connecting a capacitor to a voltage source, what drives current through the capacitor? If the voltage across the capacitor is equal to the voltage of the source, does current flow through the capacitor?

For both of Kirchhoff's laws it doesn't matter at all if you use a resistor, a capacitor or anything.
