Question

A fully uncharged capacitor of 22 µF and a resistor of 1 k? are in series and are connected through an open switch to a 10-V dc voltage source. At t = 0, the switch closes and the capacitor begins to charge. What is the voltage across the capacitor after 20 ms? Vc = 9.35 V Vc = 5.97 V Vc = 8.38 V Vc = 10 V

Step 1

The time constant (τ) of an RC circuit is given by the formula τ = RC, where R is the resistance and C is the capacitance. Given: C = 22 µF = 22 × 10^(-6) F R = 1 kΩ = 1 × 10^3 Ω τ = (1 × 10^3 Ω) × (22 × 10^(-6) F) τ = 22 × 10^(-3) s Show more…
