Explanation / Answer

1. Q = Q0 [1 - e^(-t/T)]
  
Q0 = C V0 = (47 uF) (15) = 705 uC

T = RC = (47 x 10^-6 F)(12 x 10^3) = 0.564s


Q = (705)[1 - e^(-5/0.564)] = 704 uC


Ans(d) 700 uC

2. t = 0.7s

Q = (705)[1 - e^(-0.7/0.564)] = 501 uC


Ans(c) 500 uC

3. 1 - e^(-t/0.564) = 0.5

- t / 0.564 = ln(2)

t = 0.391 s Ans(C)

4. 1 - e^(-t/0.564) = 0.25

- t / 0.564 = ln(0.75)

t = 0.162 s Ans(B)

5. at t = 0 , I = 15/12 = 1.25 mA

Ans(d)


6. at t = 5s, I= 0

Ans(A)
