Question: in circuit 1 (Figure 19.72), an uncharged capacitor is connected in series with two batteries and one light bulb. Circuit 2 (Figure 19.72) contains two light bulbs identical to the bulb in the circuit; in all other respects, it is identical to circuit 1. In circuit 1, the light bulb stays lit for 25 s. The following questions refer to these circuits. You should draw diagrams representing the fields and charges in each circuit at the times mentioned, in order to answer the questions.
(a)One microsecond after connecting both circuits, which of the following are true? Chose all that apply: (1) the net electric field at location B in circuit 1 is larger than the net electric field at location B in circuit 2. (2) At location A in 1, electrons flow to the left. (3) At location A in circuit 1, the electric fields due to charges on the surface of the wires and batteries points to the right. (4) in circuit 1 the potential difference across the capacitor plates is equal to the emf of the batteries. (5) The current in circuit 1 is larger than the current in circuit 2.
(b)Two seconds after connecting both circuits, which of the following are true? Choose all that apply: (1) there is more charge on the plates of capacitor 1 than there is on the plates of capacitor 2. (2) there is negative charge on the right plate of the capacitor in circuit 1. (3) At location B in circuit 2 the net electric field points to the right. (4) At location B in circuit 2 the fringe field of the capacitor points to the right. (5) At location A in circuit 1 the fringe field of the capacitor points to the left.
(c)Which of the graphs in Figure 19.73 represents the amount of charge on the positive plate of the capacitor in circuit 1 as a function of time?
(d)Which of the graphs in Figure 19.73 represents the current in circuit 1 as a function of time?
The capacitor in Figure 19.68 is initially uncharged, then the circuit is connected. Which graph in Figure 19.66 best describes the magnitude of the fringe field of the capacitor at location A(inside the connecting wire) as a function of time?
Two resistor each with resistance of are connected in series to a 60 V power supply whose internal resistance is negligible. You connect the voltmeter across one of these resistors and this voltmeter has an internal resistance of . What is the reading on the voltmeter?
A circuit consists of a battery, whose emf is K, and five Nichrome wires, three thick and two thin as shown in Figure 19.78. The thicknesses of the wires have been exaggerated in order to give you room to draw inside the wires. The internal resistance of the battery is negligible compared to the resistance of the wires. The voltmeter is not attached until part (e) of the problem. (a) Draw and label appropriately the electric field at the locations marked 脳 inside the wires, paying attention to appropriate relative magnitudes of the vectors that you draw. (b) Show the approximate distribution of charges for this circuit. Make the important aspects of the charge distribution very clear in your drawing, supplementing your diagram if necessary with very brief written descriptions on the diagram. Make sure that parts (a) and (b) of this problem are consistent with each other. (c) Assume that you know the mobile-electron density n and the electron mobility u at room temperature for Nichrome. The lengths and diameters of the wires are given on the diagram. Calculate accurately the number of electrons that leave the negative end of the battery every second. Assume that no part of the circuit gets very hot. Express your result in terms of the given quantities . Explain your work and identify the principles you are using. (d) In the case that , what is the approximate number of electrons that leave the negative end of every second? (e) A voltmeter is attached to the circuit with its + lead connected to location B (halfway along the leftmost thick wire) and its - lead connected to location C (halfway along the leftmost thin wire). In the case that , what is the approximate voltage shown on the voltmeter, including sign? Express your result in terms of the given quantities .
