A sinusoidal alternating potential difference is rectified with a single diode and smoothed by a capacitor C = 85 μF in parallel with a resistor R, giving output V_OUT whose maximum and minimum values differ by 2.0 V.
Determine the time, in s, for which the capacitor is discharging between times t = 1.0 ms and t = 5.0 ms.
