Question

xercise 26.42 You connect a battery, resistor, and capacitor as in (Figure 1) closed at t = 0 when the current in the circut has magnitude 3.00 A, the charge on the capacitor is 40.0 x 10 C What is the emf of the battery? Express your answer with the appropriate units. 1 where R= 190 and C·9 00 x 10 6 F The switch s is e-alue Umits Part B At what time t after the switch is closed is the charge on the capacitor equal to 400× 10 6C, Express your answer with the appropriate units of 1 of 1 Switch E open Units Part c When the cument has magnitude 300 A at what rate is energy being stored in the capacitor?

Explanation / Answer

a) current in circuit is 3A.

I(t) = (e/R) [ e^(-t/Rc)]

e^(-t/RC) = RI/e = 19 x 3 / e = 57/e

at the same time charge is 40 x 10^-6 C.

Q = e C [ 1 - e^(-t/RC) ]

putting values,

40 x 10^-6 = e (9 x 10^-6) [ 1 - 57/e ]

40 = 9e[ e - 57] / e

e - 57 =40/9

e = 61.44 volt

b) 40 x 10^-6 = 61.44 x 9 x 10^-6 [ 1 - e^(-t / RC) ]

0.0723 = 1 - e^-t/RC

-t /RC = ln(1- 0.0723)

t = 0.075 x 19 x 9 x 10^-6 = 1.28 x 10^-5 s

c) Power by battery = VI = 61.44 x 3 = 184.32 W

power dissipated through resistor = I^2 R = 3^2 19 = 171 W

by capacitor = 184.32 - 171 = 13.32 W


d) POwer by battery = VI = 61.44 x 3 = 184.32 W
