Question: Given that E = 1 4 . 0 V , R = 1 . 5 0 M and C = 1 . 6 0 F

Given that E=14.0V,R=1.50Mand C=1.60F.
We charge the initially empty capacitor by putting the switch in position a at time t=0; so the initial condition is q(0)=q0=0
(a)What are the time constant and the half life T?
(b)What is the maximum value of the charge Q on and VC the voltage across the capacitor after a long time )=(
(c)What is the maximum value of the current in the circuit? When does it occur? (hint: it's either t=0or t=)
(d)What is the charge on the capacitor after three time constants?
(e)How long does it take for the charge q to reach 90%of its maximum?
