(2:) Q: What can you do to make a parallel-plate capacitor larger? There are several things. Describe as many as you can.
In the RC circuit to the right, the capacitor C has a value of
10 LiF and the resistor is 144 kQ. The battery has an EMF of 16
V.
The circuit is assembled with capacitor is uncharged. At t = 0 s
terminal A is cormected to terminal 8, causing the battery to
charge the capacitor.
(i) What is the half-life (s) of this circuit? At the time of t = 0.54 s:
(ii) Calculate the voltage of the capacitor.
(iii) Calculate the voltage across the resistor.
(iv) Calculate the current flowing through the circuit. (v)
Calculate the power being dissipated in the resistor.
2. We can do to make a parallel-plate capacitor large by following ways
the formula for the capacitance is given as
C = ε(A/d)
now for the next part ,
capacitor C =10 uF
resistor = 144 kohm
EMF = 16 V
