Question

A capacitor that is initially uncharged is connected in series with a resistor and an EMF source with EMF = 110 V and negligible internal resistance. Just after the circuit is completed, the current through the resistor is 6.6*10^-5 A. The time constant for the circuit is 4.3 s. What is the resistance of the resistor?
