Multiple Choice
Two parallel plate capacitors,C1 and C2 are connected in series to a 60-V battery,a switch S,and a 200-K resistor as shown in the figure.Both capacitors are air gap capacitors and have plates with an area of 2.0 cm2 and a separation of 0.10 mm.The capacitors are initially uncharged and switch S is open.After switch S is closed,how long will it take for the capacitors to charge to 50% of their maximum value?
A) 8.9 * 10-7 s
B) 1.2 * 10-6 s
C) 1.8 * 10-6 s
D) 2.5 * 10-6 s
E) 4.9 * 10-6 s
