Q.

A charged isolated air gap parallel plate capacitor of capacitance 2μF discharges with a time constant of 4μs upon introduction of a homogeneous dielectric material (dielectric constant = 2) in its gap. What would the time constant   (in multiples of  13μs) for the discharge be if the same capacitor not only has the above said dielectric but also a resistor of resistance 2Ω connected across its plates?

C=KC0=2(2)=4μF τ=RCR=τC=44=1Ω

When Resistance 2Ω is connected to capacitor.

Question Image

Reff=R1R2R1+R2=1(2)1+2=23Ω

τ'=ReffC=23(4)=83μs
