An electric current, $I(t),$ flowing out of a capacitor, decays according to $I(t)=I_{0} e^{-t},$ where $t$ is time. Find the charge, $Q(t),$ remaining in the capacitor at time $t$ The initial charge is $Q_{0}$ and $Q(t)$ is related to $I(t)$ by $$ Q^{\prime}(t)=-I(t) $$
Integration
Integration by Substitution
A capacitor is charged to an initial voltage $V_{0}=9.0 \mathrm{V}$ The capacitor is then discharged by connecting its terminals through a resistor. The current $I(t)$ through this resistor, determined by measuring the voltage $V_{\mathrm{R}}(t)=I(t) R$ with an oscilloscope, is shown in the graph. (a) Find the capacitance $C$, the resistance $R$, and the total energy dissipated in the resistor. (b) At what time is the energy in the capacitor half its initial value? (c) Graph the voltage across the capacitor, $V_{\mathrm{C}}(t),$ as a function of time. (FIGURE CAN'T COPY)
Charging a Capacitor See the illustration. If a charged capacitor is connected to a coil by closing a switch, energy is transferred to the coil and then back to the capacitor in an oscillatory motion. The voltage $V$ (in volts) across the capacitor will gradually diminish to 0 with time $t$ (in seconds). A. Graph the function relating $V$ and $t:$ $V(t)=e^{-t / 3} \cos (\pi t) \quad 0 \leq t \leq 3$ B. At what times $t$ will the graph of $V$ touch the graph cof $y=e^{-t / 3} ?$ When does the graph of $V$ touch the graph $-$ of $y=-e^{-t / 3} ?$ C. When will the voltage $V$ be between $-0.4$ and 0.4 volt? (GRAPH NOT COPY)
