Problem 3: A capacitor of capacitance C = 2 μF has been charged so that the potential difference between its plates is V0 = 85 V. The capacitor is then connected to a resistor of resistance R = 5.5 kΩ. The switch S is closed, and the capacitor begins to discharge. C = 2 μF V0 = 85 V R = 5.5 kΩ Calculate the time constant τ of the circuit in seconds. Calculate the charge Q0 on the capacitor before the switch is closed, in coulombs. Calculate the current I0 immediately after the switch is closed, in amperes. Calculate the potential difference VC in volts between the capacitor plates at time t = 5.0 ms after the switch is closed. Calculate the time T in s after which the charge on the capacitor has decreased to one fourth its maximum value.
