Answer:
`1. charge Q, on the capacitor increases, while the current will decrease
2. τ = t = secs
Explanation:
1. consider RC of a circuit to be am external source
voltage across the circuit is given as
v =v₀(1 - [tex]e^{\frac{t}{τ} }[/tex])
where v = voltage
v₀ = peak voltage
t = time taken
τ= time constant
as the charge across the capacitor increases, current decreases
the charge across the circuit is given as
Q= Q₀(1 - [tex]e^{\frac{t}{τ} }[/tex])
charge Q is inversely proportional to the current I
hence the charge across the circuit increases
2. τ = RC
unit of time constant, τ,
= Ω × F
=[tex]\frac{V}{I}[/tex] ˣ [tex]\frac{C}{V}[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{C}{A}[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{C}{C/t}[/tex]
τ = t = secs
