A capacitor of capacitance C is charged ...

A capacitor of capacitance C is charged to a voltage `V_(0)` and subsequently discharged through a combination of a resistor R and another identical capacitor C in series. Find the current at time t and heat generated in the same time.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`i=V_(0)/(R)e^((2t)/(RC));H=(1)/(4)V_(0)^(2)C`
