A battery, a resistor, and a capacitor are connected in series in an RC circuit. What happens to the current through a resistor after a long time? Explain using Kirchhoff's rules.
You wish to measure both the current through and the potential difference across some component of a circuit. It is not possible to do this simultaneously and accurately with ordinary voltmeters and ammeters. Explain why not.
A resistor and a capacitor are connected in series. If a second identical capacitor is connected in series in the same circuit, the time constant for the circuit will a) decrease. b) increase. c) stay the same.
The ammeter your physics instructor uses for in-class demonstrations has internal resistance \(R_{\mathrm{i}}=75 \Omega\) and measures a maximum current of \(1.5 \mathrm{~mA}\). The same ammeter can be used to measure currents of much greater magnitudes by wiring a shunt resistor of relatively small resistance, \(R_{\text {shunt }}\), in parallel with the ammeter. (a) Sketch the circuit diagram, and explain why the shunt resistor connected in parallel with the ammeter allows it to measure larger currents. (b) Calculate the resistance the shunt resistor has to have to allow the ammeter to measure a maximum current of 15 A.
A \(12.0-V\) battery is attached to a \(2.00-\mathrm{mF}\) capacitor and a \(100 .-\Omega\) resistor. Once the capacitor is fully charged, what is the energy stored in it? What is the energy dissipated as heat by the resistor as the capacitor is charging?
