A flash unit for a camera has a capacitance of 1300 µF.
What resistance is needed in this RC circuit if the flash is to charge to
90% of its full charge in 22 s ?
An RC circuit has an unknown resistance and an initially uncharged capacitor of 631 x 10-6 F. When connected to a source potential, it takes the capacitor 27.6 s to become 80.1 % fully charged. What is the resistance of the circuit? Enter a number rounded to the nearest 100 place.
The RC circuit shown in the figure has resistance of R=7kQ and the capacitance of C=10µF. The capacitor is initially charged and at a voltage Vo=20V at t=0, when
the switch is closed. How long does it take the capacitor to discharge to 33% of its initial charge? Express your answer in units of ms (milliseconds)using one decimal
place.
