Advanced Physics - capacitor
Please kindly show me clear steps and explanation, thanks a lot!
Ex 4
The circuit allows, with a switch, to switch to > c mode of the capacitor or to >d mode.
The charging voltage is U=20V. The resistors are R1=20 and R2=10.
The capacity of the capacitor is C=20 muF; the latter is initially completely discharged.
(note: no differential equation here)
We start with the switch in charge mode.
a) determine the maximum current traveled in the circuit; when does it take place?
b) determine the maximum charge contained in this capacitor.
c) what is the current in the circuit when the capacitor charge is at half its maximum charge?
d) what is the maximum energy contained in the capacitor when it is full?
We now switch the switch to discharge mode. The capacitor is initially full.
e) What is the current in the circuit when the charge on the capacitor is only half its maximum charge?
f) if the time necessary to go from a full charge to half charge is 0.3 ms , estimate the average discharge power
