Question: What is the time constant for the circuit in Figure P19.67? Sketch how the current through the circuit and the voltage across the capacitor vary

What is the time constant for the circuit in Figure P19.67? Sketch how the current through the circuit and the voltage across the capacitor vary with time after the switch is closed.


 R1 Figure P19.67


In the circuits in Figures P19.67, P19.70, and P19.72, assume the resistance values are R1 = 1500Ω and R2 = 2400 Ω, and with capacitances C1 = 45 μF and C2 = 25 μF. The emf is ε = 5.5 V. The switches are labeled S.
