Answer:
Time constant of RC circuit is 0.105 seconds.
Explanation:
It is given that,
Resistance,
Capacitance,
We need to find the expected time constant for this RC circuit. It can be calculated as :
So, the time constant for this RC circuit is 0.105 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
g Generally the accepted value of acceleration due to gravity is 9.801
as per the question the acceleration due to gravity is found to be 9.42 in an experiment performed.
the difference between the ideal and observed value is 0.381.
hence the error is -
=3.88735 percent
the error is not so high,so it can be accepted.
now we have to know why this occurs-the equation of time period of the simple pendulum is give as-
As the experiment is done under air resistance,so it will affect to the time period.hence the time period will be more which in turn decreases the value of g.
if this experiment is done in a environment of zero air resistance,we will get the value of g which must be approximately equal to 9.801
