Question 174

An electronic flash unit in a camera uses a 22 μF22\ \mu\text{F}22 μF capacitor charged by a 15 V battery. The initial charge on the capacitor is Q0Q_0Q0​. When the shutter is released, the capacitor discharges through a 150 kΩ150\text{ k}\Omega150 kΩ resistor. The time constant of this discharge circuit is TTT.

Which statement is correct?

A

The time constant TTT of the discharging circuit is 3.3 ms3.3\text{ ms}3.3 ms.

B

After a time TTT, the potential difference across the capacitor is 5.5 V5.5\text{ V}5.5 V.

C

The initial charge Q0Q_0Q0​ on the capacitor is 33 μC33\ \mu\text{C}33 μC.

D

After a time 2T2T2T, the charge on the capacitor is Q0e2Q_0 e^{2}Q0​e2.
