2. An RC circuit has a 500 Q resistor in series with a Capacitor whose capacitance is 0.02 Farads = 20 mF. The circuit has a 10 volt battery which fully charges the capacitor over a long time. %3D a. What is the time constant for this circuit? b. At that point, with the capacitor fully charged, what is the voltage across the resistor? What is the voltage across the capacitor? How much current is flowing through the resistor? c. A switch shorts out the battery and allows the capacitor to discharge. After five seconds what is the voltage across the capacitor plates?
