A capacitor with capacitance C = 6.00×10-3 F is initially uncharged. It is in series with a source of Emf of 6.00 volts, a resistor R, and a switch as shown in the figure below.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

At t=0, the switch is closed. The graph below shows the potential difference across the capacitor as function of t, the time elapsed since the switch closed.

Calculate the value of R. Note that the curve passes through a grid intersection point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[V=V _{0}(1-e ^{\frac{ -t }{ RC }})\] and use the same steps as the other question.

how do you know which points to use?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is obvious for your naked eye and it should goes through the vertex of the square in the graph as it will give you specific value like |dw:1405400637159:dw| as any other point will be difficult to know its value.
