Question

A circuit consists of three branches that connect at two junctions on either side of the cirucit. The top branch contains a 5V battery in series with a 2400Ohm resistor and 1500Ohm resistor. The middle and bottom branches each have one 4000nanoFarad capacitor.
What is the charge on one capacitor a long time after the switch has been closed?


Qfinal = C

If there is initially zero charge on the capacitors when the switch is open, at what time after the switch is closed will the charge on one capacitor be 63% of its final value?

t63% = s

How much energy do the resistors from the time the switch is closed and the capacitors have no charge to the time (a long time later) when the capacitors are fully charged?

Eused = J

Explanation / Answer

1) qfinal = 4400*10^-9*5 = 22 uC (22*10^-6 C) 2) 0.01716 s
