Answer:
(a) Maximum current through resistor is 1.43 A
(b) Maximum charge capacitor receives is .
Explanation:
(a)
In an RC (resistor-capacitor) DC circuit, when charging, the current at any time, <em>t</em>, is given by
Here, is the maximum current and <em>τ</em> represents time constant which is given by RC (the product of the resistance and capacitance).
The maximum current is given by
<em>V</em> is the emf of the battery and is the effective resistance.
In this question, = 10.0 Ω + 25.0 Ω = 35.0 Ω
(b) The maximum charge is given
<em>Q</em> = <em>CV</em>
where <em>C</em> is the capacitance of the capacitor
