You are working in a lab where RC circuits are used to delay the initiation of a process. One particular experiment involves an RC circuit with a half-life of t1/2 = 3.00 s. Your supervisor is concerned that the initiation of the process s occurring too soon and that the half-life needs to be extended. He asks you to change the resistance of the circuit to make the half-life longer. All you can find in the supply room is a single 48.00 resistor. You look at the RC circuit and see that the resistance is 45.0 0. You combine the new resistor with the old to extend the half-life of the circuit. Determine the new half-life (in s).
