    Physics help
    I am stuck at this question.
    A battery of 9 V charges a capacitor of 47 uF through a resistor.
    What resistor value needs to be used to obtain a voltage across the
    capacitor of 8 V when 10 seconds have elapsed? You will need to
    obtain the standard equation for the voltage across the capacitor
    charging in this circuit configuration. You must show the theoretical
    calculations you did to get the result.

    I have done some calculations but I seem to be getting the wrong answer.

    here is my working out
    10 s. =10,000mS.
    X = t/RC, Vr
    = 9/e
    x
    = 9-8
    = 1,

    ex
    = 9, X
    = 2.197
    = 10,000/(R*47), 2.197

    = 213/R, 2.197R
    = 213, R
    = 96.8Kohms.
