Homework Statement
A capacitance of [tex]2\mu F[/tex] having a charge [tex]Q_0[/tex] is switched into a series circuit of [tex]10\Omega[/tex] resistance. Find [tex]Q_0[/tex] if the total energy dissipated in the resistance is [tex]3.60 mJ[/tex].
Ans. [tex]120 \mu C[/tex]
Homework Equations
[tex]Q=CV[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]E=\int_0^\infty p(t)dt=\int_0^\infty \frac{v(t)^2}{R}dt=3.60 mJ[/tex]
I need to extract [tex]V[/tex] and use it in the equation for charge [tex]Q[/tex], right? Well, I don't know how.
