Capacitors and Capacitance problem 20


An uncharged capacitor is connected in series with a battery, a switch and a resistor, as shown in the figure below.




The battery has e.m.f. and negligible internal resistance. The capacitance of the capacitor is . The switch is closed at time . During the time interval to , the charge passing through the resistor is . Determine, for the capacitor at time , the potential difference across the capacitor.
