Question

the voltaje in the resistor is given by the following function: V(r) = V0(e^(-200t)); where V0 is the voltaje of the battery. afterwards of closing the switch determine:

The capacitance of the capacitor

The current in the circuit when Q(t) = 25uC

How much time does it take the charge to reach 25uC?

Explanation / Answer

Time constant = RC = 1/200

1)=> C = 1/200*1000 = 0.5*10-5 F = 5*10-6 F (ans) or 5 muF (ans)

2)when Q = 25 uC

voltage = Q/C = 25/5 = 5 V

Current = 5/1000 = 5*10-3 A (ans) or 5 mA (ans)

3) Q = Qo( 1- e-t/RC)

=> 25*10-6 = 5*10-6* 10( 1- e-200t)

=> 0.5 = 1- e-200t

=> e-200t = 0.5

taking logs

-0.693 = -200t

=> t = 0.693/200 = 3.4657*10-3 sec (ans) or 3.4657 ms (ans)
