Answer

$145.3\times 10^{-6}C$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required amount of charge as follows: $q(t)=C\mathcal{E}(1-e^{\frac{-t}{RC}})$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $q(4.2\times 10^{-3}s)=(23\times 10^{-6}F)(9.0V)[1-e^{\frac{-4.2\times 10^{-3}s}{(150\Omega)(23\times 10^{-6}F)}}]$ This simplifies to: $q=145.3\times 10^{-6}C$
