Question

Part A - When the switch is closed, to what potential difference will the capacitor be charged?

Keep in mind that the potential difference will be that of the R2 resistor when t = 0.

Use Kirchhoff's Laws to determine the appropriate current to find the potential difference.

Use Kirchhoff's Laws to determine the appropriate current to find the potential difference.

Part B - After the capacitor is fully charged, the switch is opened. How long will it take for the capacitor to discharge to 1% its original potential difference?

  VC=V(R1R0) / R0R1+R0R2+R1R2     VC=V(R1+R0) / R0R1+R0R2+R1R2     VC=VR1R2 / R0R1+R0R2+R1R2     VC=V(R1R2) / R0R1+R0R2+R1R2     VC=V(R1+R2) / R0R1+R0R2+R1R2     VC=VR2^2 / R0R1+R0R2+R1R2
