a. List some applications of RC circuits. For the RC circuit shown in Figure, the capacitor with initial charge qo is discharged through the resistor. What multiple of the time constant t gives the time the capacitor takes to lose the first one-third of its charge.
Q7.1 The circuit shown below is an RC circuit that consists of R1 = 100 kn, R2 = 200 kn, R3 = 300 kn, C = 5.00 μF, and E = 9.00 V. When the switch is closed at t = 0, the capacitor starts from an uncharged state. The following inquiries relate to the performance of the circuit. a. What is the RC circuit's time constant? b. When will the capacitor be 80% charged? c. At that point, what is the current passing through the R3 resistor? E S R₁ R3 R₂ www
b. About how many time constants does it take to charge a capacitor in an RC circuit to 50% of its maximum value?
