Question

a. Using a 9 V battery, you fully charge a 35 mF capacitor, then place your fully charged capacitor in series with a 450 Ω resistor and a switch. Draw the graph of the charge on the capacitor from the moment the switch is closed until the capacitor is mostly discharged. Be sure to appropriately label your axes.

b. Label the value of the maximum charge on the vertical axis.

c. Choose a time (t > 0) and label the horizontal and vertical axis numerical values of one data point.

d. Qualitatively sketch what the graph would look like if the resistor were replaced by a 1.5 Ω resistor. Be sure to label which graph is which.
