Chapter 4: Q59P (page 1017)
In the circuit shown in Fig. P30.59, switch Sis closed at time t= 0 with no charge initially on the capacitor.
(a) Find the reading of each ammeter and each voltmeter just after Sis closed.
(b) Find the reading of each meter after a long time has elapsed.
(c) Find the maximum charge on the capacitor.
(d) Draw a qualitative graph of the reading of voltmeter V2 as a function
of time.
Short Answer
- All voltmeters read 0 except which reads and all ammeters read zero current except and read 0.8 A
- role="math" localid="1668254558663" .Also
- The maximum charge on the capacitor is
- The voltage increases exponentially to its maximum then decay exponentially to reach zero at
