    Answer:

    a) 0.01232 A

    b) 0.00075 s = 0.75 ms

    c) 0.0045323 A = 4.532 mA

    d) 3.894 V

    Explanation:

    R = 500 Ω

    V = 6.16 V

    C = 1.50 μF

    Let Vs be the voltage of the emf source

    Let Vc be the voltage across the capacitor at any time

    a) Current flows as a result of potential difference between two points. So, the current flows according to difference in voltage between the emf source and the capacitor.

    At time t = 0,

    There is no voltage on the capacitor; Vc = 0 V

    Current in the circuit is given by

    I = (Vs – Vc)/R

    I = (6.16 – 0)/500

    I = 0.01232 A

    b) Time constant for an RC circuit is given by τ

    τ = RC = (500) (1.5 × 10⁻⁶) = 0.00075 s

    c) The current decay in an RC circuit (called decay because the current in the circuit starts to fall as the capacitor’s voltage rises as the capacitor charges) is given by

    I = I₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

    where k = (1/τ)

    I₀ = Current in the circuit at t = 0 s; I₀ = 0.01232 A

    At t = τ = 0.00075 s, kt = (τ/τ) = 1

    I = 0.01232 e⁻¹ = 0.0045323 A = 4.532 mA

    d) The voltage for a charging capacitor is given by

    Vc = Vs (1 – e⁻ᵏᵗ)

    where k = (1/τ)

    At t = τ = 0.00075 s, Vc = ?, Vs = 6.16 V, kt = 1

    Vc = 6.16 (1 – e⁻¹) = 6.16 (0.6321)

    Vc = 3.894 V

    Given Information:

    Voltage = 6.16 V

    Resistance = 500 Ω

    Capacitance = 1.5 µF  

    Required Information:

    Initial current = I = ?

    Time constant = τ = ?

    Current after 1 time constant = ?

    Voltage after 1 time constant = ?

    Answer:

    I₀ = 0.0123 A

    τ = 0.00075 sec

    I = 0.00452 A

    V = 3.89 V

    Explanation:

    (a) What is the initial current?

    The initial current can be found using

    I₀ = Voltage/Resistance

    I₀ = 6.16/500

    I₀ = 0.0123 A

    (b) What is the RC time constant?

    The time constant τ provides the information about how long it will take to charge the capacitor.

    τ = R*C

    τ = 500*1.5×10⁻⁶

    τ = 0.00075 sec

    (c) What is the current after one time constant?

    I = I₀e^(-τ/RC)

    I = 0.0123*e^(-1)   (0.00075/0.00075 = 1)

    I = 0.00452 A

    (d) What is the voltage on the capacitor after one time constant?

    V = V₀(1 – e^(-τ/RC))

    Where V₀ is the initial voltage 6.16 V

    V = 6.16(1 – e^(-1))

    V = 6.16*0.63212

    V = 3.89 V

    That means the capacitor will charge up to 3.89 V in one time constant.
