Solution

Let's break down the problem step by step and solve each part of the question.

D. Voltage across the capacitors at t=9.5t = 9.5 seconds:

The switch is closed at t=9t = 9 seconds, and the system likely follows an RC charging or discharging behavior.

The time constant τ\tau for the RC circuit is given by: τ=ReqCeq\tau = R_{\text{eq}} C_{\text{eq}} Where:

  • ReqR_{\text{eq}} is the equivalent resistance of the circuit.
  • CeqC_{\text{eq}} is the equivalent capacitance.

For this circuit:

  • Two 1kΩ1k\Omega resistors are in parallel, so the equivalent resistance of this combination is: Rparallel=1kΩ2=500ΩR_{\text{parallel}} = \frac{1k \Omega}{2} = 500 \Omega The total resistance is the sum of the 2kΩ2k\Omega resistor in series: Req=500Ω+2kΩ=2.5kΩ=2500ΩR_{\text{eq}} = 500 \Omega + 2k\Omega = 2.5k\Omega = 2500 \Omega

  • The two 10μF10\mu F capacitors are in parallel, so the equivalent capacitance is: Ceq=10μF+10μF=20μFC_{\text{eq}} = 10\mu F + 10\mu F = 20\mu F

The time constant τ\tau is then: τ=2500Ω×20×106F=0.05 seconds\tau = 2500 \Omega \times 20 \times 10^{-6} F = 0.05 \text{ seconds}

Now, we know the capacitor voltage VC(t)V_C(t) during charging (if the capacitors are charging) is: VC(t)=Vfinal(1et/τ)V_C(t) = V_{\text{final}} \left( 1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right) where VfinalV_{\text{final}} is the final voltage after charging.

E. Expression for current across the 2kΩ2k\Omega resistor:

The current through the 2kΩ2k\Omega resistor at any time tt can be found using Ohm’s law: I(t)=V(t)RI(t) = \frac{V(t)}{R} where V(t)V(t) is the voltage across the resistor and R=2kΩR = 2k\Omega.

F. Draw the TT vs IR=2kI_{R=2k} and TT vs VR=2kV_{R=2k} graphs:

The graphs for current IR=2k(t)I_{R=2k}(t) and voltage VR=2k(t)V_{R=2k}(t) will follow an exponential charging curve.

G. Draw the TT vs VABV_{AB} graph from 00 seconds to 1212 seconds:

This graph will show the behavior of the total voltage VABV_{AB} as the capacitors charge or discharge across the time span.


I'll now calculate the detailed values for these equations and graphs.
