I would appreciate any helpful input on this physics problem. I am really confused on this one. Thanks for any help :)

Consider a series RC circuit for which R = 9.0 MΩ, C = 8.0 µF, and E = 27 V. Find the charge on the capacitor 15 seconds after the switch is closed (The answer is in µC).

This is actually an exponential "decay" problem, since the voltage approaches an asymptote (27 V). The time constant TC = R*C = 72 sec. The capacitor voltage Ec = 27 * (1-e^(-t/TC)) or 5.078 V. The charge is Ec*C = 0.00004062 C = 40.62 uC.
