Answer

$R = 870~\Omega$

Work Step by Step

We can find the value $R$ of the resistor: $Q(t) = Q_0~e^{-t/RC}$ $0.10~Q_0 = Q_0~e^{-t/RC}$ $0.10 = e^{-t/RC}$ $ln(0.10) = -\frac{t}{RC}$ $R = -\frac{t}{C~ln(0.10)}$ $R = -\frac{2.0\times 10^{-3}~s}{(1.0\times 10^{-6}~F)\times ln(0.10)}$ $R = 870~\Omega$
