4.)
Effective resistance of the circuit:
R_eff = (2*6)/(2+6) = 1.5 M ohm
because charge in the capacitor at time t is given as:
q = Q * ( 1- e^(-t/t0))
where t0 = time constant of the circuit = R_eff * C =
= ...

    Also, note that we take into account the charging of one plate (from 0 to Q), since the creation of -Q on the opposite plates is the result of the battery pulling "positive" charge out of the plate because by supplying positive charge to the other plate

  • Elongation and potential energy of two springs

    Initially, each spring has one end attached to opposite sides of a box so that the distance between their free ends is d= .70 m apart. Their ends are pulled toward each other and joined.

  • Capacitors in Parallel: What is the equivalent capacitance of the two capacitors? What is the charge stored on each capacitor?

    As we said before, the charge on each capacitor in series is the same. If this wouldn't be the case, we would have charge movement from one capacitor to the other until equilibrium is reached. Assume that the charge on each capacitor is Q.
