1. A parallel plat capacitor with C= 20 F is being charged by a battery of e=12 V. If total resistance of the circuit
is 5.2 kW, then:
a) How long does it take for the capacitor to charge to 90% of fully charged?

b) Draw the current profile and determine the current at this time.

c) How much energy is stored in the capacitor by this time?

2
d) How much energy is provided by the battery by this time?

e) To what value should we change the resistance so that the time in part (a) is reduced by 50%?

3
f) If the capacitor plate separation distance d = 1.0 mm, calculate the E and the B field values and directions
between the plates of the capacitor at this time? Do they depend on the location inside plates?
