A circuit you’re using discharges a capacitor through an unknown resistor. After charging the capacitor, you close a switch at and then monitor the resistor current with an ammeter. Your data are as follows:

Use an appropriate graph of the data to determine
(a) the resis-tance and
(b) the initial capacitor voltage.
A capacitor is charged toIt is then connected in series with a resistor and a resistor and allowed to discharge completely. How much energy is dissipated by the resistor?
The capacitor in an RC circuit is discharged with a time constant of . At what time after the discharge begins are
(a) the charge on the capacitor reduced to half its initial value and
(b) the energy stored in the capacitor reduced to half its initial value?
A battery is a voltage source, always providing the same potential difference regardless of the current. It is possible to make a current source that always provides the same current regardless of the potential difference. The circuit in FIGURE P28.56 is called a current divider. It sends a fraction of the source current to the load. Find an expression for in terms of and You can assume that the load’s resistance is much less than
The circuit of FIGURE has two resistors, with . Which of the two resistors dissipates the larger amount of power? Explain.
