2. Homework Equations

Q= Q0(e^(-t/RC))

The Attempt at a Solution



I need help for part C.I am confused as to what value I should put for R.

The answer is supposed to be .166 seconds
 
Physics news on Phys.org
R2 and R3 are in series when the switch opens. Did you get parts a) and b) right?

Find when Q=.25*Q0
 
I was confused because I thought R2 R3 were connected in parallel, but I see why they are in series now. Thanks
