2.

CR CircuitWhen the switch in Fig. 4.6.2 is closed, how long will it take for the capacitor voltage to rise to 6.3 volts?

3.

A CR circuit connected to a DC supply will, for a time after a voltage is applied to it, behave as though the capacitors were very ________ value resistances, but these effects will disappear after a time approximately equal to _______ time constant(s). The missing words in this sentence are:
