$A$ $30\,\mu F$ capacitor is charged by a constant current of $30\, mA$. If the capacitor is initially uncharged,how long does it take for the potential difference to reach $400\, V$?

$A$ resistor $R$ and a $2 \ \mu F$ capacitor in series are connected through a switch to a $200 \ V$ direct supply. Across the capacitor is a neon bulb that lights up at $120 \ V$. Calculate the value of $R$ to make the bulb light up $5 \ s$ after the switch has been closed. (Given: $\log_{10} 2.5 = 0.4$)

In the circuit shown in the figure,$R = \sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}$. Switch $S$ is closed at time $t = 0$. The current through $C$ and $L$ would be equal after a time $t$ equal to
