10.5 Exercise 7

Avg difficulty 2.5

A 500-Ω500 - \Omega resistor, an uncharged 1.50-μF1.50 - \mu \text{F} capacitor, and a 6.16-V emf are connected in series. (a) What is the initial current? (b) What is the RC time constant? (c) What is the current after one time constant? (d) What is the voltage on the capacitor after one time constant?
