Question
See the figure (http://s19.postimage.org/3yjss8twj/CC207b.png). Close the switch at t = 0. Determine the current delivered by the battery, i(t), as a function of time. After a long time, the charge on the capacitor will be q(?) = C?/2, and the current from the battery will be i(?) = ?/2R.(A) Calculate the current i just after the switch is closed, as a fraction of i(?). (No units because the answer is the ratio i/i(?).)
(B) Calculate the current i when t = 0.5 RC, as a fraction of i(?).
(C) Calculate the current i when t = RC, as a fraction of i(?).
