A 13.8 V battery is connected in series to a 9.46 µF capacitor, a 1.79 mH resistanceless coil, a rheostat (variable resistor- see right photograph at the bottom of the diagrams for this assignment) ) and an open switch. At t = 0, the switch is closed. Find the value of R, in Q, that will make this circuit critically damped.

Question in the attachment

Above: This shows the inside of a rheostat (variable
resistor). One wire is attached to and end, and the other
to the slide. As you move the slide, more wire is added,
and the resistance goes up. This is how a light dimmer
works- you turn a dial, the resistance increases, and the
bulb dims.
