Expert Solution
Step 1: Given data

A capacitor is connected in series with a resistor.

The voltage connected to the circuit is V equals 400 space straight V

Current through the resistor is I equals 0.800 space mA

The time constant for R C circuit is tau equals 6 space straight s

Note:

1 space straight A equals 1000 space mA

Find:

(a) Resistance of resistor.

(b) Capacitance of capacitor.
