In the circuit in the figure below, the emf equals 58.0 V and the capacitance equals 2.15 µF. Switch S is opened after having been closed for a long time, and 5.10 s later the voltage drop across the resistor is 28.5 V. Find the resistance of the resistor.
..... M
Solution
equation for volatge in RC ckt while charging is
V= V0(e^-t/RC)
where t is time
R is resistance
C is capacitance
so
e^-t/RC = V/Vo = 28.5/58
e^-t/RC = 0,4913
-t/RC = ln(0.4913)
-t = -0.7105 * RC
t = 0.7105 * R * 2.15 e-6
R = 5.1/(0.7105* 2.15 e -6)
R = 3.34 MOHMS
