A capacitor of capacitance \(C=1\, \mu \,{F}\) is suddenly connected to a battery of \(100\, volt\) through a resistance \({R}=100\, \Omega\). The time taken for the capacitor to be charged to get \(50 \,{V}\) is \(....\,\times \,10^{-4}\,s.\) [Take \(\ln 2=0.69]\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(0.69\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(V=V_{0}\left(1-e^{-\frac{t}{R C}}\right)\)
\(50=100\left(1-e^{-\frac{t}{R C}}\right)\)
\(t=0.69 \times 10^{-4} \;sec\)
