Answer:

74.23\mu F

Explanation:

We have given the value of resistance R = 30 ohm

Time in which current will decreases to 26% is 3 ms

The discharging equation of the capacitor is given by

i=i_0e^\frac{-t}{\tau } here \tau is time constant which is given as \tau =RC

So 0.26i_0=i_0e^\frac{-3}{\tau }  

0.26=e^\frac{-3}{\tau }

\frac{-3}{\tau }=ln0.26

\frac{-3}{\tau }=-1.347

{\tau }=\frac{3}{1.347}=2.2271ms

WE know that \tau =RC=30C

C=\frac{2.227}{30}=0.074mF=74.23\mu F

Answer :First part is what you learned so write what you learned then the other parts is The evidence that the universe is expanding comes with something called the red shift of light. Light travels to Earth from other galaxies. As the light from that galaxy gets closer to Earth, the distance between Earth and the galaxy increases, which causes the wavelength of that light to get longer.
