Question 39 NECO • 2019 • PHYSICS • objective

A circuit consists of a 12 V battery with internal resistance \(r=1\,\Omega\) connected to a resistor \(R_{1}\) in series. At the junction after \(R_{1}\) a resistor \(R_{2}=18\,\Omega\) is connected to ground, and a capacitor \(C\) is also connected to ground (initially uncharged). When the switch is closed at \(t=0\): the initial current is \(2\,\text{A}\) and after a long time the steady current is \(0.5\,\text{A}\). After 0.10 s the measured current is \(1.0\,\text{A}\). Determine (a) the values of \(R_{1}\) and \(R_{2}\), (b) the capacitance \(C\), and (c) the time required for the capacitor voltage to reach \(6\,\text{V}\).

Answer Options

A. R1 = 5 Ω, R2 = 20 Ω, C = 3.8 mF, t = 0.10 s
B. R1 = 6 Ω, R2 = 18 Ω, C = 3.5 mF, t = 0.09 s
C. R1 = 4 Ω, R2 = 18 Ω, C = 4.2 mF, t = 0.12 s
Correct Answer D. R1 = 5 Ω, R2 = 18 Ω, C = 3.8 mF, t = 0.10 s
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
R1 = 5 Ω, R2 = 18 Ω, C = 3.8 mF, t = 0.10 s
