Question

The circuit in the figure below contains two resistors, R1 = 2.10 k? and R2 = 3.10 k?, and two capacitors, C1 = 1.70 ?F and C2 = 3.30 ?F, connected to a battery with emf ? = 130 V. There are no charges on the capacitors before switch S is closed. (a) Determine the charge on capacitor C1 as a function of time (in ms), after the switch is closed. (Use the following as necessary: t.) q1 = 229.5(1 - e^{-(t/5.75)}) ?C (b) Determine the charge on capacitor C2 as a function of time (in ms), after the switch is closed. (Use the following as necessary: t.) q2 = [ ] ?C

Step 1

Given: \(C_1 = 1.70 \mu F\), \(C_2 = 3.30 \mu F\). The equivalent capacitance, \(C_{eq}\), is given by: \[C_{eq} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2}}\] \[C_{eq} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{1.70} + \frac{1}{3.30}}\] \[C_{eq} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{1.70} + Show more…
