We would like to use the relation V(t)=I(t)R to find the voltage and current in the circuit as functions of time. To do so, we use the fact that current can be expressed in terms of the voltage. This will produce a differential equation relating the voltage V(t) to its derivative. Rewrite the right-hand side of this relation, replacing I(t) with an expression involving the time derivative of the voltage. Express your answer in terms of dV(t)/dt and quantities given in the problem introduction.

An electronic apparatus may have large capacitors at high voltage in the power supply section, presenting a shock hazard even when the apparatus is switched off. A “bleeder resistor” is therefore placed across such a capacitor, as shown schematically , to bleed the charge from it after the apparatus is off. Why must the bleeder resistance be much greater than the effective resistance of the rest of the circuit? How does this affect the time constant for discharging the capacitor?
A sine-wave voltage source drives the circuit. This question attempts to measure the capacitance. You may use I = dQ/dt with VC = Q/C. Alternatively, you may use the capacitive reactance, XC = 1/ωC. The current in the circuit is I = I0*cos(ωt). You use the oscilloscope to measure the peak-to-peak voltage for the capacitor (VCp), and then for the resistor (VRp). Knowing the frequency (ω) and the resistance (R), one can (in theory) calculate the capacitance. Calculate the capacitance (in microfarads, μF = 10-6 F). These are the numbers: VCp = 15 volts VRp = 10 volts ω = 7,814 rad/s R = 608 ohms
