Question
The RC circuit shown in the figure charges through resistors R1 = 50 N and R2 = 950 N when the switch
is in position 1, and discharges through resistor R2 when the switch is in position 2. The emf of the
battery is 12 V. It takes 15 ns for the resistor to dissipate 85% of the initial energy stored in the fully
charged capacitor.
a) Find:
the capacitance of the capacitor
the time constant of the charging circuit
the time constant of the discharging circuit
the maximum current in the charging circuit
the maximum current in the discharging circuit
b) For which values of R, would you measure the same maximum current in the charging and the
discharging circuit?
