SUMMARY
The voltage across a 60-microfarad capacitor charged by a 6mA constant current for 10 seconds can be calculated using the formula V = (1/C) ∫i dt. By integrating the current with respect to time and multiplying by 1/C, the resulting voltage is derived. It is important to note that the initial voltage across the capacitor is not specified, which may affect the final calculation. The integration yields a precise and even voltage value.
