Solution

The correct option is A 30.0 microcoulombs
When the switch is closed for a long time, the capacitor is fully charged and no current will flow through the circuit. Thus, no voltage drop across the resistor. Therefore, the potential across the capacitor will be 10V.
Thus, charge on the capacitor plates is Q=CV=3(10)=30μC
