Question

Set VA to 20 volts. Insert a jumper between points A and B.

1.Charge time was approximately how many seconds?

2.One RC time is approximately how many seconds?

3.The Re of the meter and the 1-m ohm resistor is approximately how many ohms?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given:

$V_{A} = 20 V C_{1} = 0.01 μF R = 1 MΩ$

Step 2

The charge time for capacitor in series RC circuit is approximately 5 times of time constant.

So,

$\begin{array}{rcl} Charging time & = & 5 τ \\ = & 5 \times R C \\ = & 5 \times 1 \times 10^{6} \times 0.01 \times 10^{- 6} \\ = & 0.05 s \end{array}$
