Through resistanceless leads, a capacitor of capacitance is connected to a battery of emf and internal resistance . Determine the power delivered by the battery after the connections are made.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
The time constant of the RC circuit is given by:
The current in the circuit as a function of time is:
