Q22.A resistance R and a capacitance C are connected in series to a battery of negligible internal resistance through a key. The key is closed at t = 0 . If after t sec the voltage across the capacitance was seven times the voltage across R, the value of t is (1) 3RCℓn2 (2) 2RCℓn2 (3) 2RC ln 7 (4) 3RCℓn7

What This Question Tests

This problem involves an RC circuit and requires setting up expressions for the time-dependent voltage across the capacitor and the resistor during charging, then solving for the time 't' when the capacitor voltage is seven times the resistor voltage.

Concepts Tested

Charging of a capacitorTime constantVoltage across capacitorVoltage across resistor

Formulas Used

V_C(t) = E(1 - e^(-t/RC))

V_R(t) = E * e^(-t/RC)
