An RC circuit includes a 2-k N resistor, a battery with emf of 12.0 V and a capacitor. At t = 0 the switch is closed, and the charging of the capacitor begins. Knowing that the time constant of the circuit is measured to be 1 ms calculate: (a) the capacitance of the capacitor; (b) the time it takes for the voltage across the resistor to reach 4 V, and (c) the charge accumulated on the capacitor during this time interval.

The RC circuit shown in (Figure 1) can be used in an artificial pacemaker to establish a normal heart rhythm by generating periodic electrical impulses. The box labeled "controller" behaves as an open circuit until the voltage drop across the capacitor reaches a preset limit. Once that limit is reached, the capacitor discharges its stored energy in the form of an electrical impulse to the heart, starts to recharge, and then the process repeats.
