Problem 59A

Electricity In a series resistance−capacitance DC circuit, the instantaneous charge Q on the capacitor as a function of time (where t = 0 is the moment the circuit is energized by closing a switch) is given by the equation

Q(t) = CV(1 − et/RC),

where C, V, and R are constants. Further, the instantaneous charging current IC is the rate of change of charge on the capacitor, or IC = dQ/dt. Source: Kevin Friedrich.

a. Find the expression for IC as a function of time.

b. If C = 10−5 farads, R = 107 ohms, and V = 10 volts, what is the charging current after 200 seconds? (Hint: When placed into the function in part a the units can be combined into amps.)
