QUESTION 6
a) What is the time constant for the circuit shown in the figure below if the value of ε = 12.0 V, R = 21.4 ohm, and C = 39.1 mF.?
b) Suppose that the switch is closed and the capacitor starts to charge. How much of the charge will be accumulated on each plate of the
capacitor after 3 s of charging?
Submit the value of the charge (in mC, with tho decimal places) as your answer.
The rather simple circuit shown below is known as a voltage divider. The symbol consisting of three
horizontal lines is represents "ground" and can be defined as the point where the potential is zero. The
voltage divider is widely used in circuits and a single voltage source can be used to provide reduced voltage
to a load resistor as shown in the second part of the figure.
