A capacitor is connected to a 20V20V battery through a resistance of 10Ω.10Ω . It is found that the potential difference across the capacitor rises to 2V2V in 1μs.1\mu s . The capacitance of the capacitor is ________\mu F .
Given In \left(\dfrac{10}{9}\right) = 0 . 105

Options

  1. A0.950 . 95
  2. B9.529 . 52
  3. C1.851 . 85
  4. D0.1050 . 105

Correct answer

A. 0.950 . 95

Step-by-step solution

V=V0(1−e−t/RC)V = {V}_{0}\left(1 - {e}^{- t / RC}\right)

2=20(1−e−1\mus10C)2 = 20\left(1 - {e}^{- \dfrac{1\mus}{10C}}\right)

110=(1−e−1×10−610C)\dfrac{1}{10} = \left(1 - {e}^{- \dfrac{1 \times {10}^{- 6}}{10C}}\right)

e−1×10−610C=910{e}^{- \dfrac{1 \times {10}^{- 6}}{10C}} = \dfrac{9}{10}

1×10−610C=ln⁡(109)\dfrac{1 \times {10}^{- 6}}{10C} = \ln \left(\dfrac{10}{9}\right)

C=1×10−610×ln⁡(109)=10−71.05=11.05μF=100105μF=0.95μFC = \dfrac{1 \times {10}^{- 6}}{10 \times \ln \left(\dfrac{10}{9}\right)} = \dfrac{{10}^{- 7}}{1 . 05} = \dfrac{1}{1 . 05}\mu F = \dfrac{100}{105}\mu F = 0 . 95\mu F
