A Capacitor is a circuit component that stores energy and can be charged when current flows through it. A current of 3A flows through a capacitor that has an initial charge of 2μC (micro Coulombs). After two microseconds, how much is the magnitude of the net electric charge (in μC) of the capacitor?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]8\mu C[/tex]

Explanation:

t = Time taken = [tex]2\mu s[/tex]

i = Current = 3 A

q(0) = Initial charge = [tex]2\mu C[/tex]

Charge is given by

[tex]q=\int_0^t idt+q(0)\\\Rightarrow q=\int_0^{2\mu s} 3dt+2\mu C\\\Rightarrow q=3(2\mu s-0)+2\mu C\\\Rightarrow q=6\mu C+2\mu C\\\Rightarrow q=8\mu C[/tex]

The magnitude of the net electric charge of the capacitor is [tex]8\mu C[/tex]
