Read the passage below and answer following questions. A 20µF capacitor which is initially uncharged is connected to a 6V battery through a resistor with resistance equal to 200Ω. |
Calculate the time taken by the capacitor to be charged to 0.80q0. |
7.5 X 10-3 s 3.2 X 10-3 s 5.2 X 10-3 s 6.4 X 10-3 s |
3.2 X 10-3 s |
Q = 20 \(\mu\)F x 6 V = 120 \(\mu\) I = \(\frac{6 V}{200 \Omega}\) = 0.03 A I = Q/t ∴ t = \(\frac{Q}{I}\) = 4 ms Time to charge to Qo = 4 ms Time to charge to 0.8 Qo = 0.8 x 4 ms = 3.2 ms |
