Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The total energy supplied by the battery as the capacitor is being charged is ∫dU=ε2C.

(b) The total energy dissipated by the resistor as the capacitor is being charged is Ur=ε2C2.

(c) The energy stored in the capacitor when it is fully charged is Uc=12Cε2.

(d) The energy of the battery is dissipated into the resistor and the capacitor. Therefore, the energy is conserved through the discharge.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) step 1: Given Information

We need to find the total energy supplied by the battery as the capacitor is being charged.

02

Part (a) step 2: Simplify

The current in the circuit is given as:

I=dQdtI=Qmax-1τ-e-tτI=εCRCe-tRCI=εRe-tRC

Now, Pbatis:

Pb=I×εPb=εRe-tRCεPb=ε2Re-tRC

We know that, role="math" localid="1650877098929" Pb=dUdt.

Pb=dUdtdU=Pbdt∫dU=Pbdt∫dU=ε2Re-tRC∫dU=ε2R-RCe-tRC∫dU=ε2C

03

Part (b) step 1: Given Information

We need to find the total energy dissipated by the resistor as the capacitor is being charged.

04

Part (b) step 2: Simplify

Now we finding the power dissipation :

Pr=I2RPr=ε2R2e-2tRC

So, Pr=dUdt.

Pr=dUdtdU=Prdt∫dU=ε2Re-2tRCdtUr=ε2R-RC2e-2tRC0∞Ur=ε2C2

05

Part (c) step 1: Given Information

We need to find the energy stored in the capacitor when it is fully charged. Your expressions will be in terms of E,Rand C.

06

Part (c) step 2: Simplify

We finding the energy stored in the capacitor :

Uc=12×Q2maxCUc=12×C2ε2CUc=12Cε2

07

Part (d) step 1: Given Information

We need to find that energy is conserved for parts a to c.

08

Part (d) step 2: Explanation

The energy of the battery is dissipated into the resistor and the capacitor. Therefore, the energy is conserved through the discharge.

A string of holiday lights can be wired in series, but all the bulbs go out if one burns out because that breaks the circuit. Most lights today are wired in series, but each bulb has a special fuse that short-circuits the bulb—making a connection around it—if it burns out, thus keeping the other lights on. Suppose a string of 50 lights is connected in this way and plugged into a 120V outlet. By what factor does the power dissipated by each remaining bulb increase when the first bulb burns out?

For an ideal battery(r=0), closing the switch in FIGURE P28.54 does not affect the brightness of bulb A. In practice, bulb A dims just a little when the switch closes. To see why, assume that the1.50Vbattery has an internal resistancer=0.50Ωand that the resistance of a glowing bulb isR=6.00Ω.

a. What is the current through bulb A when the switch is open?

b. What is the current through bulb A after the switch has closed?

c. By what percentage does the current through A change when the switch is closed?

What is the current through the 20 Ω resistor in FIGURE P28.61?

What is the value of resistor Rin FIGURE EX28.16?

An oscillator circuit is important to many applications. A simple oscillator circuit can be built by adding a neon gas tube to an RC circuit, as shown in figureCP28.83. Gas is normally a good insulator, and the resistance of the gas tube is essentially infinite when the light is off. This allows the capacitor to charge. When the capacitor voltage reaches a value Von, the electric field inside the tube becomes strong enough to ionize the neon gas. Visually, the tube lights with an orange glow. Electrically, the ionization of the gas provides a very-low-resistance path through the tube. The capacitor very rapidly (we can think of it as instantaneously) discharges through the tube and the capacitor voltage drops. When the capacitor voltage has dropped to a value Voff, the electric field inside the tube becomes too weak to sustain the ionization and the neon light turns off. The capacitor then starts to charge again. The capacitor voltage oscillates between Voff, when it starts charging, and Von, when the light comes on to discharge it.

a. Show that the oscillation period is

T=RCinε-Voffε-Von

b. A neon gas tube has Von=80VandVoff=20V. What resistor value should you choose to go with a 10μfcapacitor and a 90Vbattery to make a 10Hzoscillator?
