DC RC Circuit Analysis Tutorial

This document contains 3 problems involving DC circuits with capacitors and resistors. The first problem involves calculating the time constant, voltage charged after 8 seconds, and half discharge time of a 200uF capacitor charged via a 200kΩ resistor. The second problem involves calculating the resistance and current given the voltage on a 10uF capacitor after 1 second of charging. The third problem involves writing the equation for current over time, and calculating the time constant, current at 60ms, voltage at 60ms, and time to reach 50mA for a 50uF capacitor in series with a 1kΩ resistor connected to a 100V supply.
