1. Consider a switched RC circuit with C = 8.8010F, R, = 4.30102 and R = 6.2010N. The time constant for charging the capacitors is 0.550s. The capacitors are initially uncharged. After = 0.250s from closing the switch to the top contact to begin charging, the potential difference across each capacitor is 7.20V.
2. 
   
3. (a)  What is value of the capacitor C?
4. 
   
5. (b) What is the voltage of the power supply?   
6. 
   
7. (c)  What is the total energy stored in the capacitors at the given time of 0.250s? At the given time 0.250s, the switch is thrown to discharge, the bottom contact.
8. 
   
9. (d) What is the time constant for discharging? 
10. 
    
11. (e) What is the time, from when the switch is thrown to the bottom contact, for the capacitors to discharge to 1.50V.
