A capacitor of 2.5 mu F is charged through a resistor of 4 M Omega. In how much time will potential drop across capacitor will become 3 times that of resistor (ln 20.693)

Answer»

13.86 s
6.93 s
1.386 s
69.3 s

Solution :The growth of VOLTAGE in a CR circuit is given by `V=V_(0)[1-e^(-t//CR)]`
where t is any TIME during the charging.
For the given circuit, as per the conditions given
`V_(c )(t)=(3)/(4)th` of the voltage applied
so, `(3V_(0))/(4)=V_(0)[1-e^(-t//RC)]` or, `e^(-t//RC)=(1)/(4)`
`RARR t=2RC log_(e )2`
`rArr t=2xx4xx10^(6)xx2.5xx10^(-6)xx0.693=13.86 s`.
