Capacitor Combinations Slide 23-24
Which of the following combinations of capacitors has the highest capacitance? • A • B • C • D
Which of the following combinations of capacitors has the lowest capacitance? • A • B • C • D
Which of the following combinations of capacitors has the lowest capacitance? • A • B • C • D
RC Circuit • Charge or discharge a capacitor, C, through a resistor, R. • Start with discharge: See diagram • R=40,000Ω • C= 3000 μF • E = 3.0 V
What current flows just after switch is closed (t=0)? • E = 3 V and Vc = 0, so I = E/R = 3.0/300=.01 A • What is charge on C at t=0.01 s? (approx)
At t = 0.01 s • Q(.01) = Q(0)-I(0)*.01 = ? • What is Vc(0.01) ? • Q(.02) = ? • Vc(0.02) ?
All capacitors have V0 = 5.0v at t=0 when switches are closed. Which has the lowest voltage at t = 1s? • A • B • C • D
