Question

In the figure below, suppose that the switch has been closed for a length of time sufficiently long enough for the capacitor to become fully charged. (R = 13.0 k, R2 = 20.0 k, R3 = 5.00 k, V = 9.30 V)

IR =    µA
IR2 =    µA
IR3 =    µA

(b) Find the charge on the capacitor.
                µC

In the figure below, suppose that the switch has been closed for a length of time sufficiently long enough for the capacitor to become fully charged. (R = 13.0 k, R2 = 20.0 k, R3 = 5.00 k, delta V = 9.30 V) (a) Find the steady-state current in each resistor. IR = muA IR2 = muA IR3 = muA (b) Find the charge on the capacitor. muC

Explanation / Answer

With the transient decayed, the circuit becomes a series circuit. The current in R and R3 is equal.

I = 9.3 V / (13.0k + 20.0k) = 282
