Now, a second resistor R2 of 3.2x10^5 ? is connected in parallel to the existing resistor in the circuit, and a second capacitor C2 = 4.20 µF is connected to the existing capacitor in parallel.
(a) What will be the new time constant?
? = s
(b) What will be the maximum current in the circuit (leaving the battery terminal)?
Imax = µA
Now, we connect the second resistor R2 of 3.2 105 ? and the second capacitor C2 = 4.20 µF both in series to the other elements of the circuit.
(c) What will be the new time constant?
? = s
(d) What will be the maximum current in the circuit (leaving the battery terminal)?
Imax = µA
