An RC circuit has a 5.5 kΩ resistor and a 8.0 µF capacitor in series, how long will ittake for the fully discharged capacitor to be charged to 95% once the switch is closed? _______How long would it if a second 8.0 µF capacitor is added in series? _______
You now have the half-life of the signal. You also know the circuit resistance. Here, calculate the capacitance (in μF) needed to give the circuit its half-life -- at least in theory.
R = 367 Ohms
Th = 241 μs
A simple series circuit consists of a cell, an ammeter, and a rheostat of resistance R. The ammeter reads 5A. When an additional resistance of 2 Ohms is added, the ammeter reading drops to 4A. Determine the resistance of the rheostat.
