The figure displays two circuits with a charged capacitor that is to be discharged through a resistor when a switch is closed. In figure (a) below, R1 = 21.9 Ω and C1 = 5.26 μF. In figure (b) below, R2 = 10.9 Ω and C2 = 8.08 μF. The ratio of the initial charges on the two capacitors is q02/q01 = 1.64. At time t = 0, both switches are closed. At what time t do the two capacitors have the same charge?
A 12-V battery, a 4.5-Ω resistor, and a 2.3-F capacitor are connected in series with a switch. The capacitor is initially uncharged. What will be the percentage of the voltage on the capacitor (relative to the maximum voltage on the capacitor) 15 seconds after the switch is closed?
