In the question 42, if the switch is opened after the capacitor has been charged, it will discharge with a time constant

A

RC

B

2 RC

C

`(1)/(2)RC`

D

RC log2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The resistance in the middle plays no part in the charging
process of C, as it does not alter either the potentiall difference
across the RC, combiation or the current through it.]

In the connection shown in the figure, initially the switch K is open and the capacitor is uncharged. Then the switch is closed, and the capacitor is charged up to the steady state and the switch is opened again. Determine the values indicated by the values indicated by the ammeter. [Given V_0 = 30 V, R_1 = 10k Omega, R_2 = 5kOmega ] . A long time after the switch was closed.

A capacitor C=100 muF is connected to three resistor each of resistance 1 kOmega and a battery of emf 9V . The switch S has been closed for long time so as to charge the capacitor. When switch S is opened, the capacitor discharges with time constant

In the circuit shown in fig. when the switch is closed, the capacitor charges with a time constant

Three capacitors (of capacitances C , 2C and 3C ) and three resistors (of resistance R , 2R and 3R ) are connected with a battery and switch S as shown in the figure. When switch S is open, charges on the capacitors are shown. Switch S is closed at t=0 sec . The time constant of the circuit will be

The following two questions refer to the circuit shown. Assume that the capacitors are initially uncharged. After the switch has been closed for a long time, how much charge is on the positive plate of the 3muF capacitor?

Two long conducting rods suspended by means of two insulating threads as shown in Fig. are connected at one end to a charged capacitor through a switch S, which initially open. At the other end , they are connected by a loose wire. The capacitor has charge Q and mass per unit length of the rod is lambda . The effective resistance of the circuit after closing the switch is R. Find the velocity of each rod when the capacitor is discharged after closing the switch. (Assume that the displacement of rods during the discharging time is negligible.)
