1. Fill in the table for this circuit. Show your work (you can a picture and insert it in this document) and then check your answer with PhET, and insert a screenshot of your circuit. To get the “big” resistor (kilo-ohms) you have to hit the down arrow on the left selection panel. It is the resistor with no color bands on it.
I attached the picture of the question, but just in case it is hard to read here it is typed out! Also, I need the answers correct to 4 decimal places. Thank you!!

The resistor has a resistance of 302 kΩ. a. What is the time constant? (in s) b. How long will it take to reduce the voltage on the capacitor to 1.0% of its full value once discharge begins? (in s) c. If the capacitor is charged to a voltage ?0 through a 120 Ω resistance, calculate the time it takes to rise to 0.9?0 (This is close to two time constants.) (in ms)
