PHY 102 Current Electricity Objective Question

What is the general solution for the charge q(t) on a capacitor during charging in an RC circuit, as given in the document?

A q(t) = Qmax * e^(-t/RC)

B q(t) = Qmax * (1 - e^(t/RC))

C q(t) = Qmax * (1 - e^(-t/RC))

Correct Answer

D q(t) = Qmax * (1 + e^(-t/RC))

Option C is the correct answer.

Page 24 explicitly provides the 'General Solution' for the charge during charging as 'q(t) = Qmax (1 - e^-t/RC)'.

Find the 'General Solution' subheading under 'Charging a Capacitor' on page 24 for the direct formula.
