You connect a battery, resistor, and capacitor as in Fig. 26.20a, where R = 12.0 Ω and C = 5.00 x 10-6 F. The switch S is closed at t = 0. When the current in the circuit has a magnitude of 3.00 A, the charge on the capacitor is 40.0 x 10-6 C. (a) What is the emf of the battery? (b) At what time t after the switch is closed is the charge on the capacitor equal to 40.0 x 10-6 C? (c) When the current has magnitude 3.00 A, at what rate is energy being (i) stored in the capacitor, (ii) supplied by the battery

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The emf on the battery is 44.0 V

(b) After1.20×10-5S the switch is closed the charge on the capacitor is equal to40.0×10-6C

(c) When the current has magnitude3.00A then the energy being stored in the capacitor is 24 W and supplied by the battery is 32 W

Step by step solution

01

EMF of the battery

Electromotive force (Emf) is the total amount of electrical potential energy a battery can supply before it is connected to an external circuit

02

Current through the circuit

Given,

C=5.00×10-6F,R=12.0Ωandtimet=0

Firstly, we need to find the emf of the battery when the current has a magnitude ofl=3.00A and the charge on the capacitor isQ=40.0×10-6C

Therefore, the charge over the capacitor is given by the equation:

Q=°äε(1-e-tÏ„)

Now, the current in the circuit is given by:

l=dQdt=εRe-tτ
03

Calculating the emf

Dividing the above two equations we get:

QA=CR1-e-tτe-tτ

Multiply by etτetτ we get:

QI=CRetτ-1

Solving for t we get:

t=Ï„±õ²ÔQICR+1

Substituting the values, we get,

t=(6.00×10-5S)In40.0×10-6C(3.00A)(12.0Ω)(5.00×10-6F)+1=1.20×10-5S

Now, substitute the values in,

ε=IRe-tτ

We get,

role="math" localid="1655792248682" ε=(3.00A)×(12.0Ω)×e1.20×10-5S6.00×10-5S=44.0V

Therefore, the emf is 44.0 V

04

Energy stored in both capacitors

From the above parts, we see that the current in the circuit has a magnitude of I = 3.00 A and the charge on the capacitor isQ=40.0×10-6C , now the time at which the circuit has the above magnitude and charge is given by:

t=1.20×10-5S

Now the energy stored is given by:

UC=Q22C

Therefore, the rate of energy stored in the capacitor is:

PC=QICPC=(40.0×10-6C)(3.00A)5.00×10-6F=24.0W

Therefore, the rate of energy stored in the capacitor is 24 W

Again, the rate of energy supplied by the battery is:

Pε=±õε=(3.00A)(44.0V)=132W

Therefore, the energy supplied by the battery is 132 W

Which of the graphs in Fig. Q25.12 best illustrates the current I in a real resistor as a function of the potential difference V across it? Explain.

A typical small flashlight contains two batteries, each having an emf of1.5V, connected in series with a bulb having resistance17Ω. (a) If the internal resistance of the batteries is negligible, what power is delivered to the bulb? (b) If the batteries last for1.5hwhat is the total energy delivered to the bulb? (c) The resistance of real batteries increases as they run down. If the initial internal resistance is negligible, what is the combined internal resistance of both batteries when the power to the bulb has decreased to half its initial value? (Assume that the resistance of the bulb is constant. Actually, it will change somewhat when the current through the filament changes, because this changes the temperature of the filament and hence the resistivity of the filament wire.)
