Homework Statement
Use the value:
E = 200 V,
Horizontal resistor R1 = 1136 capital omega,
Vertical resistor R2 = 568 capital omega, and
Capacitor C = 5.37 mu or micro F,
(a) the initial current through the battery just after the switch is closed:
(b) the steady state current through the battery when the switch has been closed for a long time:
(c) the maximum voltage across the capacitor:
Homework Equations
R = V/I
C = Q/V
The Attempt at a Solution
I found a and b to be as follows (using loops)
a) 0.176056 A
b) 0.117371 A
I'm having trouble with part c)...I don't know how to relate the current i found in part a) or b) to the definition of capacitance to find the maximum voltage. Could anyone help or point me in the right direction? thanks!
