Answer

The maximum charge that will appear on the capacitor is $~~1.8\times 10^{-4}~C$

Work Step by Step

We can use conservation of energy to find the maximum charge that will appear on the capacitor: $U_{E,max} = U_{B,max}$ $\frac{q^2}{2C} = \frac{L~i^2}{2}$ $q^2 = C~L~i^2$ $q = \sqrt{C~L~i^2}$ $q = \sqrt{(2.70\times 10^{-6}~F)(3.00\times 10^{-3}~H)(2.00~A)^2}$ $q = 1.8\times 10^{-4}~C$ The maximum charge that will appear on the capacitor is $~~1.8\times 10^{-4}~C$
