Physics Question on Alternating current
In an LCR circuit as shown in figure, both switches are open initially. Now switch S is closed, S kept open. (q is charge on the capacitor and τ = RC is capacitive time constant). Which of the following statement is correct?
A
Att=2τ,q=CV(1−e−1)
B
Work done by the battery is half of the energy dissipated in the resistor
C
Att=τ,q=CV/2
D
Att=2τ,q=CV(1−e−2)
Answer
Att=2τ,q=CV(1−e−2)
Explanation
Solution
As switch S is closed and switch S is kept open. Now, capacitor is charging through a resistor R. Charge on a capacitor at any time t is q=q0(1−et/τ)=CV(1−e−t/τ) [Asq0=CV] At t =2τ,q=CV(1−e−τ2/τ)=CV(1−e−1/2) At t =τ,q=CV(1−e−τ/τ)=CV=(1−e−1) At t =2τ,q=CV(1−e−2τ/τ)=CV(1−e−2)
