Figure shows a resistor of resistance R= 6.00 鈩 connected to an ideal battery of emf12.0 V by means of two copper wires. Each wire has length 20.0 cm and radius 1.00 mm. In dealing with such circuits in this chapter, we generally neglect the potential differences along the wires and the transfer of energy to thermal energy in them. Check the validity of this neglect for the circuit of Figure: What is the potential difference across (a) The resistor and (b) Each of the two sections of wire? At what rate is energy lost to thermal energy in (c) The resistor And (d) Each section of wire?

Question: In Fig. 27-77, the ideal batteries have emfs , and the resistances are each. What are the (a) size and (b) direction (up or down) ofand the (c) size and (d) direction of? (e) Does battery 1 supply or absorb energy, and (f) what is its energy transfer rate? (g) Does battery 2 supply or absorb energy, and (h) what is its energy transfer rate?

In Fig. 27-70, the ideal battery has emf , and the resistances are, , , and . What are currents (a), (b) , (c) , (d) , and (e) ?

What is the equivalent resistance of three resistors, each of resistance R, if they are connected to an ideal battery (a) in series with one another and (b) in parallel with one another? (c) Is the potential difference across the series arrangement greater than, less than, or equal to that across the parallel arrangement?
Question: Switch S in Fig. 27-63 is closed at time t=0, to begin charging an initially uncharged capacitor of capacitance C= 150F through a resistor of resistanceR =20.0. At what time is the potential across the capacitor equal to that across the resistor?
