Detailed Solution

The charge on the capacitor during charging is given by Q=Q01et/RC .
Hence, the potential difference across the capacitor is
V=Q/C=Q0/C1et/RC
Here at t = 1µs , the potential difference is 4 V whereas the steady state potential difference is Q0/C=12V.S0,4V=12V1et/RC .Or,   1et/RC=13    Or,  et/RC=23
Or,    tRC=ln32=0.405 Or,  RC=t0.405=1μs0.405=2.469μs
Or,   C=2.46910Ω0.25μF
