Consider the circuit shown (in the link below), determine the time required for the capacitor to reach a full charge
where:
DC = 10V
R= 10 KΩ
C= 100 uF
h ttps://slate.sheridancollege.ca/d2l/common/viewFile.d2lfile/Database/OTYyMzQ2/Quiz%20_7%20Question%20_2.png?ou=663593
there's no space between h and ttps
my answer:
10 KΩ = 10x10^3Ω
100 uF = 0.0001F
T=RC
T= (10*10^3 Ω)(0.0001f)
T= 1s
but the solutions at the back says 5.00 s
Maybe this site will help.

t = 5*RC.
To determine the time required for the capacitor to reach full charge in the given circuit, we can use the formula for the time constant of an RC circuit. The time constant (T) is given by the product of the resistance (R) and the capacitance (C), represented as T = RC.
In the given circuit, the resistance (R) is 10 KΩ, which is equivalent to 10 x 10^3 Ω. The capacitance (C) is 100 uF, which is equivalent to 0.0001 F.
Plugging the values into the formula, we get:
T = (10 x 10^3 Ω) * (0.0001 F)
T = 1 second
Therefore, according to my calculations, the time required for the capacitor to reach full charge should be 1 second.
However, if the solutions provided at the back states the answer as 5.00 seconds, there may be some additional information or factors not provided in the initial question. It is possible that there are other elements in the circuit or specific conditions that affect the charging process of the capacitor. I would recommend reviewing the problem statement or checking for any additional information that may have been provided.
