Explanation:
Given data:
Area A = 10 cm×2 cm = 20×10⁻⁴ m²
Distance d between the plates = 1 mm = 1×10⁻³m
Voltage of the battery is emf = 100 V
Resistance = 1025 ohm
Solution:
In RC circuit, the voltage between the plates is related to time t. Initially the voltage is equal to that of battery V₀ = emf = 100V. But After time t the resistance and capacitor changes it and the final voltage is V that is given by
Taking natural log on both sides,
(1)
Now we can calculate the capacitance by using the area of the plates.
C = ε₀A/d
=
= 18×10⁻¹²F
Now we can get the time when the voltage drop from 100 to 55 V by putting the values of C, V₀, V and R in the equation (1)
= -(1025Ω)(18×10⁻¹² F) ln( 1 - 55/100)
= 15×10⁻⁹s
= 15 ns
