Question

A timing device on a pacemaker requires a time constant of 0.5 seconds. What value must the capacitor be if the resistor of the RC circuit has a values of 10,000 Ohms (Ω)?

Answer 1

Answer:
`C=50 \mu F`

Step-by-step explanation:

R-C circuit is a circuit with a resistor and a capacitor. It is frequently used in Electronic devices

time constant
`\tau`in R-C circuit is given by

`\tau =RC`

where
`R=resistance`

`C=capacitance`

here
`\tau =0.5 s`

`R=10,000 \Omega`

`0.5=10,000* C`

`C=5* 10^(-5)`

`C=50 \mu F`
