Answer:
a.) τ = 2.85 s b.) Q = 3.19 * 10^-5 C c.) t = 1.691 s
Explanation:
So we are told that it is a RC circuit. We are told = 12.0 V, R = 1.07 MΩ and C = 2.66 µF.
a.) The time constant for RC circuit, τ = RC. Substituting our known values we get:
τ = RC where R = (1.07 * 10 ^ 6)Ω and C = (2.66 * 10 ^ -6) F
τ = (1.07 * 10 ^ 6)Ω * (2.66 * 10 ^ -6) F = 2.8462 s ≈ 2.85 s
τ = 2.85 s
b.) The relationship between capacitance, potential, charge is given:
The capacitor is fully charge when t approaches infinity, therefore:
When t approaches infinity, the term e becomes very small (e^-∞ = 0), therefore we can simplify the equation and plug in our values
Q = 3.19 * 10^-5 C
c.) Using the same equation as before, we can substitute Q in and solve for Q:
t = 1.691 s
Hope this helps! I'm not sure what the units you want, so convert to the desired units.
