46. A resistor and capacitor are connected in series to a 10 V dc supply through a switch. The switch closed at t = 0,
and the capacitor voltage is found to cross 0 V at t = 0.4t, where t is circuit time constant. The absolute value
of % change required in the initial capacitor voltage if the zero crossing has to happen at t = 0.2t is _______ .
(rounded off to 2 decimal places)
46. Ans: 55
Sol: To cross zero voltage let us consider ‘−ve’ initial voltage across capacitor

v(t) = v(∞) + [V(0) − V(∞)] e

So, voltage across capacitor reach 0 volts at t = 0.4 t
0 = 10 − [V0 + 10]e−0.4
v(t)
V0 = 4.925
V0 = 4.925 V −10V
Now voltage across capacitor has to reach ‘0’ volts at t = 0.2t only
