A4.0 μF capacitor is connected in series with a 2.0 MΩ resistor, and this combination is connected across an ideal 44.0 V DC battery. Initially the charge on the capacitor is zero. What is the current in the circuit when the capacitor has reached 80 % of its maximum voltage?

  i = 17.6 10⁻⁶ A

Explanation:

The charge of a capacitor in a series circuit is

           i =                     (1)

           R i = V₀  e^{ - \frac{t}{RC} }

            = e^{ - \frac{t}{RC} }

they tell us that the voltage is 80% bone

            = 0.80

we substitute

           0.80 = e^{ - \frac{t}{RC} }

           ln 0.80 =

           t = - RC ln 0.80

in the problem they give the value of R = 2.0 10⁶ Ω and C = 4.0 10⁻⁶ F

          t = - 2 10⁶  4 10⁻⁶ ln 0.8

          t = 1,785 s

we substitute in equation 1

         i =

         i = 22 10⁻⁶

         i = 17.6 10⁻⁶ A

the journeys of marquette, joliet and la salle a) new france expand.

all three of these explorers explored the midwest and the area around the great lakes, which they subsequently claimed for france.

this was a big portion of territory and expanded new france which before then only consisted of quebec province in northeastern canada
