Large capacitors can hold a potentially dangerous charge long after a circuit has been turned off, so it is important to make sure they are discharged before you touch them. Suppose a 120 μF capacitor from a camera flash unit retains a voltage of 200 V when an unwary student removes it from the camera Part A If the student accidentally touches the two terminals with his hands, and if the resistance of his body between his hands is 1.8 kf2, for how long will the current across his chest exceed the danger level of 50 mA? Express your answer with the appropriate units. HÅ ?

Hi, Here's my question. 26.45: An emf source (e=120 V), a resistor (R=80.0 W), and a capacitor (C=4.00 mF) are connected in series. As the capacitor charges, what is the magnitude of the charge on each plate of the capacitor when the current in the resistor is 0.900 A? Hint: From the information given, first calculate the voltage across the capacitor when the 0.900 A current flows in the circuit. Then use the voltage as a function of the time equation for a charging capacitor in an R-C circuit.
