Kirchhoff's Loop Rule
27. Resistors & DC Circuits / Kirchhoff's Loop Rule / Problem 3

Consider a circuit consisting of a 9.0-V battery, a 100.0 μF capacitor, a 60.0 Ω resistor, a switch, and an ammeter wired in series. Initially, the switch is open and the capacitor is totally discharged. The switch is closed, and after a time t, the ammeter shows a value of 0.05 A. Determine the charge Q on the capacitor at time t.
