TRUE OR FALSE?
Connect the initial circuit as shown in Figure 47-1.2. Set VA at 20 volts. Insert a jumper wire between points A and B and observe the meter action.OBSERVATION Current flowed for approximately ___________ seconds as evidenced by the voltagemeasured across R. The rate of charge was (linear, nonlinear) __________________.nCONCLUSION The current that flowed was the charging current that charged the capacitor to avoltage equal to (VR, VA) ____________________. Was charging current maximum atthe beginning of the charge time or near the end? _________. At the beginning of thecharge time, the voltage across R was equal to (VC , VA) _______________________(the first instant). At the end of the charge time, the voltage across the resistor is________ volts; the voltage across the capacitor is equal to VA.
