(a) What is the potential difference in the circuit of Fig. P25.62? (b) What is the terminal voltage of the battery? (c) A battery with emf and internal resistance is inserted in the circuit at d, with its negative terminal connected to the negative terminal of the battery. What is the difference of potential between the terminals of the battery now?
In the circuit shown in Fig. E26.49, C = 5.90 mF, 詯 = 28.0 V, and the emf has negligible resistance. Initially, the capacitor is uncharged and the switch S is in position 1. The switch is then moved to position 2 so that the capacitor begins to charge. (a) What will be the charge on the capacitor a long time after S is moved to position 2? (b) After S has been in position 2 for 3.00 ms, the charge on the capacitor is measured to be 110 mC What is the value of the resistance R? (c) How long after S is moved to position 2 will the charge on the capacitor be equal to 99.0% of the final value found in part (a)?

A particle with massand a charge of has, at a given instant, a velocity.What are the magnitude and direction of the particle鈥檚 acceleration produced by a uniform magnetic field?
The capacity of a storage battery, such as those used in automobile electrical systems, is rated in ampere-hours .A battery can supply a current offor or for and so on. (a) What total energy can be supplied by a battery if its internal resistance is negligible? (b) What volume (in litres) of gasoline has a total heat of combustion equal to the energy obtained in part (a)? (See Section 17.6; the density of gasoline is .) (c) If a generator with an average electrical power output ofrole="math" localid="1655719210000" is connected to the battery, how much time will be required for it to charge the battery fully?
A rule of thumb used to determine the internal resistance of a source is that it is the open circuit voltage divide by the short circuit current. Is this correct? Why or why not?
