A series circuit contains an electromotive force of 120v a


Write and solve pertinent differential equations to answer this problem.

A series circuit contains an electromotive force of 120v, a capacitance of 10^-5 Farads, and an initial current of 1 ampere. The charge after 10 seconds is equal to 0.012 Coulombs (i.e. q(10) = 0.012).

a) What is the value of the resistance?

b) What is the initial charge, q(0)?

c) What is the solution function that determines charge at time (t)?

d) If 1milliamp (1/1000 amp) is sufficient to stop a human heart, how long must this circuit run before it is safe to touch it?
