Question

In the circuit diagram below, the capacitor C is first fully charged by using a 6.0V battery and the two way switch k. It is then discharged through the resistor R.

The figure below shows how the charge Q on the capacitor C changes with time during the discharge.

Use the graph to answer the following questions:

  •  What is the capacitance of the capacitor?
  •  Estimate the initial current through the resistor during the discharging process, hence, calculate the resistance of the resistor and the time constant of the circuit.
  • On the same axes, draw graphs to show how the voltage Vc across the capacitor and VR across the resistor vary with time during the charging. Indicate values where appropriate.
