Answer: a) io=233.28 A ( initial current); b) τ=R*C= 22.31 ms; c) 81.7 ms
Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use, the formule for the variation of the current in a RC circuit:
I(t)=io*Exp(-t/τ)
and also we consider that io=V/R=(1.5/6.43*10^3)
=233.28 A
then the time constant for the RC circuit is τ=R*C=6.43*10^3*3.47*10^-6
=22.31 ms
Finally the time to reduce the current to 2.57% of its initial value is obtained from:
I(t)=io*Exp(-t/τ) for I(t)/io=0.0257=Exp(-t/τ) then
ln(0.0257)*τ =-t
t=-ln(0.0257)*τ=81.68 ms
They move faster and move farther apart
Um... This is not exactly physics...(Although, this school of thought is most likely Moral Relativism.)
