Charging a Capacitor: An RC circuit includes a
Charging a Capacitor: An RC circuit includes a basic switch. In position "a", the battery, resistor and capacitor are connected in series, and the capacitor charges. In position "b", the battery is replaced with a short, and the capacitor will discharge. Two voltmeters and an ammeter have been added to the circuit.
F)What is the maximum value of the current after the switch is closed?
G) Enter an expression for the current as a function of time. Your answer must explicitly reference the maximum current, Imax, that was determined in the previous step.
H) Enter an expression for the voltage measured across the resistor, VR, as a function of time.
I) Enter an expression for the voltage measured across the capacitor, VC, as a function of time.
J) Add an expression for the sum of the voltages across the resistor and the capacitor as a function of time, VR + VC.
