Question
consider a capacitor C with an initial charge Q being discharged through resistance R. Determine after how many time constants will the charge of the capacitor drop to 10% of the initial charge. Determine after how many time constants the energy in the capacitor will be 10% of the initial charge energy. explain any differences in the number of time constants for the charge and energy to drop by the same percentage.

In figure (a) below, R₁ = 23.32 and C₁ = 5.04 μF. In figure (b) below, R2 = 10.82 and C₂ = 8.10 μF. The ratio of the initial charges on the two capacitors is 902/901 = 1.61. At time t = 0, both switches are closed. At what time t do the two capacitors have the same charge? 0.0 (a) (b) Number i Unitsarrow_forward
- A supercapacitor is an electrical energy storage device. A supercapacitor, initially charged to 9.8 thousand millivolts, supplies power to an emergency beacon. The power draw from the load causes the capacitor to lose 4.4% of its charge every minute. When the charge drops below 7 hundred millivolts the beacon will cease functioning. How long will the beacon last after it is activated (your final answer should be in minutes). Round your answer to the nearest minute.arrow_forward1) Propose and draw a circuit of a resistive current divider in halfarrow_forwardChoose the TRUE statement: a) A capacitor is rated according to its maximum allowable voltage and capacitance value.
