ok I'll get right to the point. I'm stuck on my physics HW and you guys are my only hope. You don't have to straight out give me the answer I just need some help solving it...(catch a fish for a man he eats for a day, teach a man to fish he eats for a lifetime)
A capacitor with an initial potential difference of 100V is discharged through a resistor when a switch between them is closed at t=0. At t=10.0s, the potential difference across the capacitor is 1.00V.
A) What is the time constant of the circuit?
B) What is the potential difference across the capacitor at t=17.0s?
