Referring to the instantaneous circuit in Figure Q5:
a) What is the time constant of the circuit if the value of resistance and capacitance is set to 8 kΩ and 0.1 F?
b) Calculate the value of current and voltage drop across the resistor and capacitor at the instant of 25 milliseconds connected to a supply voltage of 200 V.
c) Calculate the time taken for the circuit to reach the voltage drop across the capacitor of 80 V.
d) Discuss the changes in the value of current and voltage drop across the resistor and capacitor if the value of the resistor is changed to 4 kΩ.
6. For a given RC circuit connected to a 50 V supply, it takes 5 microseconds for a capacitor to charge to half the battery voltage through a 10 kΩ resistor. What is the capacitance C? If the capacitance is doubled, describe the changes in the time constant of the circuit.
