Q.

The capacitor shown in the figure has been charged to a potential difference of V volt so that it carries a charge CV with both the switches S1 and S2 remaining open. Switch S1 is closed at t=0. At t=R1C switch S1 is opened and S2 is closed, Find the charge on the capacitor at t=2R1C+R2C.

Detailed Solution

When S1 is closed and S2 open, capacitor will discharge. At time t=R1C, one time constant, charge will remain q1=1e times of CV or 

q1=CVe

When S1 is open and S2 closed, charge will increase (or may decrease also) from CVe to CE exponentially. Time constant for this would be (R1C+R2C). Charge as function of time would be 

q=qi+qf-qi1-e-t/τC q=CVe+CE-CVe1-e-t/τC

After total time 2R1C+R2C or t=R1C+R2C1 the time constant in above equation, charge will remain 

q=CVe+CE-CVe1-1e=EC1-1e+VCe2
