Q. A 500 $\mu F$ capacitor is charged at a steady rate of 100$\mu{Cs}^{- 1}.$ The potential difference across the capacitor will be 10 V after in interval of

A) 5 s
B) 25 s
C) 20 s
D) 50 s
Explanation

(d) Given that,
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ C = 500\mu F$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{dq}{dt} = 100\ \mu{Cs}^{- 1}\ \ $
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ V = 10$ volt
Then the total charge on the capacitor
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ q = CV$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = 500 \times 10^{- 6} \times 10$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = 5 \times 10^{- 3}C$
Hence, time = $\frac{total\ charge}{charge\ rate\ }$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ E\ \ = \ \frac{5 \times 10^{- 3}C}{100 \times 10^{- 6}C}s$
= 50s
