1. An RLC circuit consists of a resistor, inductor, and a capacitor in series along with a battery as their components. Expressed from total energy, we see the total charge as determined by the differential equation dd²q dq L dt2 dt

What is a capacitor and how do they work? What is it about capacitors that make them unique? What is the formula for one time constant? How many time constants does it take to fully charge a capacitor? Show illustrations. What other electronic component(s) are commonly found with a capacitor…especially in timing circuits? What types of capacitors are there? What are the formulas for series and parallel capacitors? If three 30 uF capacitors were connected in parallel what would the net capacity be? How about the net value if the capacitors in Q7 were connected in series? If you were to connect a 5K-ohm resistor in series as in Q7… what would the first time constant be? What about time to full charge? Describe the difference between AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current). Use illustrations. Why is voltage generated and distributed in AC? What type of circuit(s) would change AC to DC? How about DC to AC?

the capacitor

In the circuit at right, a 100 mH inductor and a 5 N resistor are connected by a switch to a 6 V battery. hlllo a. After the switch is thrown to position a (connecting the battery), what time interval elapses before the current through the inductor is 200 mA? b. What is the current through the inductor 10 seconds later? c. Now the switch is quickly thrown from position a to position b, such that the inductor and resistor form a complete circuit separate from the battery. How much time elapses before the current falls to 200 mA? R L bọ
