Question “7) In the circuit shown in the figure both capacitors are initially charged to 45.0 V….”
7) In the circuit shown in the
figure both
capacitors are initially charged to 45.0 V.
a) How long after closing the switch S will the
potential across each capacitor be reduced to
10.0 V?
b) What will be the current at that time?
Answer
This problem can be solved using the following concepts: the series combination resister’s idea, the parallel combination capacitor’s notion, the ohms law and the time varyingvoltage concept.
First, calculate the equivalent resistance between the resistors using the series combination resistor’s concept. Next, calculate the equivalent capacitance between the two capacitors using the parallel combination capacitor’s idea. Then calculate the time period during which the voltage will drop to its initial value using the time-varying voltage concept. Finally, calculate the current through a circuit using the time-varying voltage concept.
If two or more resistors have been connected, the equivalent resistance of each resistor is the algebraic sum all resistors. The combination of resistors and is known as the series combination all nresistors.
