A3Q = It but f = 1/t
so Q = I/f
C = Q/V = I ¸ (Vf)C = 0.045 A ¸ (400 Hz × 12.0
V) (P)C = 9.38 × 10-6 F = 9.38 mF (P)

Time constant = RC = 2000 W × 5000 × 10-6 F
= 10 s (P)

4bV = V0 e –t/RC
V = 12.0 × e – 13 /10 (P)V = 12.0 × e – 1.3
= 12.0 × 0.273 = 3.3 volts (P)

4cV = V0 e –t/RC
V ¸ V0 = 0.5 = e –t(half)/RC ln(0.5) = - t1/2 /RCln2 = t1/2 /RC (P)
(The log of a reciprocal is the negative of that for the original number)
t1/2 = 0.693 × RC = 0.693 × 10 = 6.93 s (P)

4dV = V0 e –t/RC
V ¸ V0 = e –t/RC
ln V - ln Vo = -t/RC (P)(When you divide two numbers,
you subtract their logs)0.693 – 2.485 = - t/10
ln2 - ln12 = - t/10 (P)-t/10 = -1.792
t/10 = 1.792t = 1.792 × 10 = 17.9 s (P)
