Step 1/2 A
Yottage across the discharging capacitor is given as the
Va Ver
Explanation:
Voltage in discharging capacitor discharges
exponentially.
Step 2/2 A
Now put the numerical value and solve for the time required
to drop the voltage
4 =e sahowt
21.97 s
Explanation:
Where Vo = Steady state voltage, t = time, R=
resistance, C = capacitance.
Final answer A
‘The time required to drop the voltage unto 4 V is equal to
$= 21.97 5
