1. A 3.0 M Ohm resistor and a 1.0m F capacitor are connected in a single series loop with an emf of 4.0 V.

At one second after the connection is made what are:

a) The rate the capacitor is charging

b) The rate energy is being stored in the capacitor (look up energy stored in a capacitor in the InfoMall if necessary)

 

2) A 3x10-3 uF capacitor with an initial charge of 6.2 uC is discharged through a 1500-Ohm resistor.

a) Calculate the current through the resistor 9 Us after the resistor is connected across the terminals of the capacitor.

b) What charge remains on the capacitor after 9 micro-s?

c) What is the maximum current through the resistor?
