A capacitor is connected to a 12 V battery through a resistance of 10 Ω . It is found that the potential difference across the capacitor rises to 4.0 V in 1µs. Find the capacitance of the capacitor. (Given: λ n3 = 1.0986, λ n2 = 0.693)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
( 
F = 0.25 µF)
Sol. V = V 0 (1 – e –t/RC )
4 = 12( 
)
λ n 
= 
⇒ C = 
F = 0.25 µF.
