in ms to 3 significant digits.
Question 17
Next, what is the time constant of the circuit formed when b and c connected? Give your answe
ms to 3 significant digits.
Question 18
Finally, you perform the following sequence of events. The capacitor starts uncharged and the
switch is flipped to connect a and c. The capacitor is charged for 20 ms. The switch is then flipp
to connect b and c, and the capacitor is discharged for 26 ms, at which time the switch is set to
position where it is not in contact with either a or b. What is the voltage on the capacitor? Give
answer to 2 significant digits.
One day on a particularly stormy night, a science student is watching the rain and thinking about all the homework they have to do. Just then a
bolt of lightning discharges 21 C from one cloud to a power line. The student was able to use their iPhone to measure the potential difference
to be 15,050 volts. With this data, how much energy is lost by the cloud and gained by the power line?
