Question:
In the circuit in Figure 23.18, the resistance has a resistance of 2000 Ω, the capacitor has a capacitance of 1000 μF and the battery has an e.m.f. of 12 V.
a. Calculate:
i. The potential difference across the capacitor when it is fully charged by the battery
ii. The charge stored by the capacitor when it is fully charged
iii. The current in the resistor when the switch is first connected to terminal Q.
b. Explain what happens to the amount of charge stored on the plates in the moments after the switch is first connected to terminal Q.
c. Based on your answer to part b, explain what effect this has on:
i. The potential difference across the capacitor
ii. The current in the resistor.
