Consider a charging RC circuit:
C R
E
The capacitor is initially uncharged. The switch is closed at t = 0.
a) Express the power of the battery, resistor, and capacitor as functions of time.
b) Integrate your expressions from part a) from t = 0 to t → ∞ to find the total energy supplied by the battery, the total
energy dissipated by the resistor, and the energy stored by the capacitor. For the energy stored by the capacitor, does
this agree with what you would expect from U =
1
2CV 2?

1. Consider a charging RC circuit: c R The capacitor is initially uncharged. The switch is closed at i = 0. a) Express the power of the battery, resistor, and capacitor as functions of time. b) Integrate your expressions from part a) from 10 tot to find the total energy supplied by the battery, the total energy dissipated by the resistor, and the energy stored by the capacitor. For the energy stored by the capacitor, does this agree with what you would expect from U - CV??
