Question

A horizontal portion of a circuit contains three aligned points A, B and C. A 2.0µF and a 3.0µF capacitor are shunted between A and B, and there is a 5.0µF capacitor between B and C. Above this alignment is a series connection of a 100V battery and a switch S1 connected to A and C. Below the alignment is a 10Ω resistor and a switch S2 connected to A and C. The switches are initially opened.

  • Draw a diagram of the circuit.
  • If S2 is left open and S1 is closed, calculate the quantity of charge on each capacitor. How much energy does each store?
  • S1 is now opened and S2 is closed. How much charge flows through the 10Ω resistor?
  • Calculate the time constant and the half-life of the circuit and state the significance of each value.
  • If another resistor is connected in series to the 10Ω resistor, will the flow of charge be affected? Explain.
