A circuit has a voltage source of 9 V, a capacitor of capacitance 1 × 10 –3 F, and a resistor of 60 Ω .
a. What is the time constant of this circuit?
b. What is the maximum charge on the capacitor?
c. The circuit is switched on at t = 0 seconds. How much charge is on the capacitor at t = 0.1 seconds?
d. At what time does the capacitor have half of its maximum charge?
e. At what time does the capacitor have 90% of its maximum charge?
f. After the capacitor is completely charged, you disconnect the circuit and the capacitor starts discharging. How much charge is on the capacitor after 2 milliseconds?
g. How long does it take for the capacitor to lose 99% of its charge?
4. The circuit contains four parallel plate capacitors, all initially uncharged and with no dielectric material between their plates. A switch is closed to complete the circuit at time t=0, so current begins to flow at that time and we wait enough time for the capacitors to become (very close to) fully charged.
a. What is the equivalent capacitance of this circuit?
b. What is the charge stored on the 125 µF capacitor?
If we now insert a neoprene rubber dielectric into all of the capacitors, how will the answers change?
c. What is the equivalent capacitance of this circuit?
d. What is the charge stored on the 125 µF capacitor?
