Problem 34CQ
When charging a capacitor, as discussed in conjunction with Figure 21.38, how long does it take for the voltage on the capacitor to reach emf? Is this a problem?
ANSWER:
Solution 34CQ
Step 1 of 2
The discharging of the capacitor is governed by,
V = V0e
Here , V is the voltage at the terminals of the capacitor in the course of discharging , V0 is the voltage across the terminals of the capacitor when the capacitor is fully charged , t is time calculated from the start of the discharging process , R is the resistance in the circuit and C is the value for the capacitance of the capacitor.
