The electrodes of a capacitor of capacitance C = 2 . 0 0 μ F carry opposite charges q 0 = 1 . 0 0 m C . Then the electrodes are interconnected through a resistance R = 5 . 0 M Ω . Find the charge flowing through that resistance during a time interval τ = 2 . 0 0 seconds.

Nice solution !! RC circuits are good, but LCR circuits beat everything !

@Ayon Ghosh – Oh okay! Preparing for camp, eh??
@Ayon Ghosh – Where did you studied these Electrostatics , etc from?
Kindly add in the question the units in which the answer must be expressed.(i.e-coulomb,millicoulomb)
Ya thats true
In an RC circuit, the charge that has flowed through the resistor by time t is given by Q 0 ( 1 − e − t / τ ) , where Q O is the initial charge and τ = R C = 5 ∗ 1 0 6 ∗ 2 ∗ 1 0 − 6 = 1 0 . Therefore, our answer is ( 1 ∗ 1 0 − 3 ) ( 1 − e − 2 / 1 0 ) ≈ 0 . 0 0 0 1 8 C .

Lets derive the form, I can see, many did it with that form, But none posted how to derive,
So Here we go,
Lets think of an R-C Circuit where Resistance connected is R and Capacitance is C .
Now say, the charge developed at any time instant t on the parallel plate capacitor before reaching steady point be q.
So We know the Emf Given by battery is ϵ .
So we can say that due to the capacitor the there will be an back emf and hence the net emf at any time instant will be
ϵ − C q = i R .
⟹ C C × ϵ − q = d t d q R
⟹ C × ϵ − q = R C d t d q
⟹ R C d t = C ϵ − q d q
⟹ ∫ 0 t R C d t = ∫ 0 q 0 C ϵ − q d q
After solving we will get
q = q 0 ( 1 − e R C − t )
Putting the values we get q at any time instant, so after inputting t = 2 s we get the answer.
