CAPE Physics Unit 2 · 2008 (T&T) · Paper 1 · Question Q12
Item 12 refers to the following diagram.
The capacitor in the circuit above has capacitance, C. It is charged to a voltage, V, and then discharged through a resistor with resistance, R. The charge at any time, t, is given by
- (A)
Q = \frac{C}{V} e^{-\frac{t}{RC}} - (B)
Q = \frac{V}{C} e^{-\frac{t}{RC}} - (C)
Q = CV e^{\frac{-RC}{t}} - (D)
Q = CV e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}
