Problem 8P:
CHA
Chapter: Problem:
Problems Through deal with the RC circuit in Fig., containing a resistor (R ohms), a capacitor (C farads), a switch, a source of emf
but no inductor. Substitution of L = 0 in Eq. gives the linear first-order differential equation

for the charge Q = Q(t) on the capacitor at time t. Note that I(t) = Q′(t).
 Suppose that in the circuit of Fig., we have R = 10, C = 0.02, Q(0) = 0, and E(t) = 100e−5t (volts). (a) Find Q(t)
and I(t). (b) What is the maximum charge on the capacitor for t ≥ 0 and when does it occur?

for this solution

• Step 1 of 4
Consider the linear first-order equation:

(a)

The objective is to find the equations for

Now replace R with 10, C with 0.02, E with in the equation:

The standard form of a first-order linear differential equation is,

and the general solution to this equation is,

Where, the function is called the integrating factor for the differential equation.

The integrating factor is,
