Electrostatics Question 286

Question: A 4 mF capacitor, a resistance of 2.5 MW is in series with 12 V battery. Find the time after which the potential difference across the capacitor is 3 times the potential difference across the resistor. [Given ln(2)= 0.693] [IIT-JEE (Screening) 2005]

Options:

A) 200 and 180 V

B) 180 and 135 V

C) 160 and 80 V

D) 140 and 20 V

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

V=V0(eλt)

After 1 seconds V1=320(eλ)240=320(eλ)eλ=34

After 2 seconds V2=320(eλ)2=320×(34)2=180volt

After 3 seconds V3=320(eλ)3=320×(34)3=135volt
