Combination of two identical capacitor a resistor R and a DC voltage source of voltage 6V is used in an experiment on a (C-R) circuit. It is found that a parallel combination of the capacitor the time in which the voltage of the fully charged combination reduces to half its original voltage is 10 second. For series combination, the time needed for reducing the voltage of the fully charged series combination by half is

Answer»

For CR circuit, during charging the voltage across capacitor at instant t is V=V 0 (1−e −t/CR )According to question, 2V 0 =V 0 (1−e −t/CR )or e t/CR =2⇒t=CRln2For parallel grouping , equivalent capacitance , C P =C+C=2Cnow time for half voltage , t P =C P Rln2=2CRln2For series grouping , equivalent capacitance , C S = C+CCC =C/2now time for half voltage , t S =C S Rln2=(C/2)Rln2∴ t P t S = 41 ⇒t S = 41 ×10=2.5s as t P =10ssolutionJanuary 17, 2020avatarTopprSHARESolve related QuestionsInitially the switch is in position 1 for a LONG time.
