Two capacitors of capacitance 3C and 5C (where C = 0.19 F) are connected in series with a resistor of resistance R = 9.5 Ω.
If the circuit was charged by a 10.0 V source how much total charge (in C) did both capacitors have in them to begin with?
A circuit includes a capacitor that charges over time. If the resistance of the circuit is 3.0 Ω, the capacitance is 2.2 F, and the potential of the circuit is 5.0 V, what is the charge on the capacitor after a time of 10.0 seconds, assuming the capacitor is initially uncharged?
