A 2.04 nF capacitor with an initial charge of 4.55 µC is discharged through a 1.28 kΩ resistor. (a) Calculate the current in the resistor 9.00 µs after the resistor is connected across the terminals of the capacitor.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The current in the resistor is 56.44 mA.

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitor Q= 2.04 nF

Initial charge [tex]q= 4.55\ \mu C[/tex]

Resistor [tex] R= 1.28 k\omega[/tex]

Time [tex]t = 9.00\times10^{-6}[/tex]

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

[tex]I=\dfrac{Q}{RC}e^{\dfrac{-t}{RC}}[/tex]

Where, C = capacitor

R = resistor

t = time

Q = charge

Put the value into the formula

[tex]I=\dfrac{4.55\times10^{-6}}{1.28\times10^{3}\times2.04\times10^{-9}}e^{\dfrac{-9.00\times10^{-6}}{1.28\times10^{3}\times2.05\times10^{-9}}}[/tex]

[tex]I=0.05644\ A[/tex]

[tex]I=56.44\ mA[/tex]

Hence, The current in the resistor is 56.44 mA.
