${V}={V}_{0}\left(1-{e}^{-t / {RC}}\right)$

$2=20\left(1-{e}^{-t / {RC}}\right)$

$\frac{1}{10}=1-{e}^{-t / {RC}}$

${e}^{-t / R C}=\frac{9}{10}$

${e}^{{t} / {RC}}=\frac{10}{9}$

$\frac{{t}}{{RC}}=\ln \left(\frac{10}{9}\right) \Rightarrow {C}=\frac{{t}}{{R} \ell {n}\left(\frac{10}{9}\right)}$

${C}=\frac{10^{-6}}{10 \times .105}=.95\,\mu {F}$
