Answer:
66.2 sec
Explanation:
C₁ = 1.0 F
C₂ = 1.0 F
ΔV = Potential difference across the capacitor = 6.0 V
C = parallel combination of capacitors
Parallel combination of capacitors is given as
C = C₁ + C₂
C = 1.0 + 1.0
C = 2.0 F
R = resistance = 33 Ω
Time constant is given as
T = RC
T = 33 x 2
T = 66 sec
V₀ = initial potential difference across the combination = 6.0 Volts
V = final potential difference = 2.2 volts
Using the equation
[tex]V = V_{o} e^{\frac{-t}{T}}[/tex]
[tex]2.2 = 6 e^{\frac{-t}{66}}[/tex]
t = 66.2 sec
