A rectified alternating p.d. is smoothed by a capacitor C = 85 μF in parallel with a resistor R; the difference between maximum and minimum values of V_OUT is 2.0 V, with peak value 8 V. Using your smoothed V_OUT line drawn on Fig. 5.1 and the discharging time found in (b)(ii), calculate the resistance R.
