Step 1
In an RC circuit, the current I(t) through the resistor and the capacitor is a function of time. When the circuit is initially connected, the capacitor starts to charge up, which means that the current starts to decrease. The equation that describes this Show more…

The circuit shown in Figure $\mathrm{P} 28.72$ is set up in the laboratory to measure an unknown capacitance $\mathrm{Cin}$ series with a resistance $R=10.0 \mathrm{M} \Omega$ powered by a battery whose emf is 6.19 $\mathrm{V}$ . The data given in the table are the measured volt- ages across the capacitor as a function of time, where $t=$ 0 represents the instant at which the switch is thrown to position $b$ . (a) Construct a graph of $\ln (\mathcal{E} / \Delta V)$ versus $t$ and perform a linear least-squares fit to the data. (b) From the slope of your graph, obtain a value for the time constant of the circuit and a value for the capacitance.
