Question

Please help me with both parts of this problem, and double check your answers, i have had many issues with tutors in the past giving incorrect answers, and thats of no use to me then

### Problem 26.44

In the figure, the total resistance is \(13.0 \, k\Omega\), and the battery's emf is \(30.0 \, V\). If the time constant is measured to be \(27.8 \, \mu s\).

#### Figure
The figure shows a simple RC circuit consisting of a resistor \(R\), a capacitor \(C\), a battery \(\epsilon\), and a switch \(S\). The resistor \(R\) and the capacitor \(C\) are connected in series with the battery and the switch.

#### Part A
**Problem Statement:**

Calculate the total capacitance of the circuit:

\[ \tau = RC \]

Given:
- Total resistance, \(R = 13.0 \, k\Omega\)
- Time constant, \(\tau = 27.8 \, \mu s\)

\[ C = \frac{\tau}{R} \]

**Input Box for Answer:**

\[ C = \boxed{ \text{your answer here} } \, F \]

#### Part B
**Problem Statement:**

Calculate the time it takes for the voltage across the resistor to reach \(17.4 \, V\) after the switch is closed.

The voltage across the resistor in an RC circuit as a function of time \(t\) can be given by:

\[ V_R(t) = V_0 (1 - e^{-t/RC}) \]

Given:
- Initial voltage, \(V_0 = 30.0 \, V\)
- Desired voltage across the resistor, \(V_R(t) = 17.4 \, V\)
- Total resistance, \(R = 13.0 \, k\Omega\)
- Total capacitance \(C\) (calculated in Part A)

Solve for time \(t\):

\[ 17.4 = 30.0 (1 - e^{-t/RC}) \]

**Input Box for Answer:**

\[ t = \boxed{ \text{your answer here} } \, s \]
