Using the exact exponential treatment, find how much time is required to discharge acapacitor through aresistor down tolocalid="1656395883292" of its original voltage.
(a) What is the potential difference going from point \(a\) to point \(b\) in Figure \(21.47\)? (b) What is the potential difference going from \(c\)to \(b\)? (c) From \(e\) to\(g\)? (d) From \(e\) to \(d\)?

Consider a rechargeable lithium cell that is to be used to power a camcorder. Construct a problem in which you calculate the internal resistance of the cell during normal operation. Also, calculate the minimum voltage output of a battery charger to be used to recharge your lithium cell. Among the things to be considered are the emf and useful terminal voltage of a lithium cell and the current it should be able to supply to a camcorder.
Find the currents flowing in the circuit in Figure\(21.52\). Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategies for Series and Parallel Resistors.
