In the circuit, in Fig. E26.47 the capacitors are initially uncharged, the battery has no internal resistance, and the ammeter is idealized. Find the ammeter reading (a) just after the switch S is closed and (b) after S has been closed for a very long time.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The ammeter reading will be 0.937 A just after the switch S is closed after the capacitors are initially uncharged.

(b) The reading in the ammeter after the switch S is closed for a long time is 0.606 A

Step by step solution

01

Capcitive behavior

The potential across an uncharged capacitor is initially zero, so it behaves like a short circuit.

02

Current just after the switch S is closed

Here the switch is just closed which means that each capacitor acts as a short circuit. Hence the equivalent resistance for the circuit, for R3 and R5 are in parallel therefore the equivalent resistance is given by:

R3,5=R3R5R3+R5

Now, putting the values we get:

role="math" localid="1655721488577" R3,5=R3R5R3+R5=50(25)50+(25)=16.7

Now the combination in series with R2andR6 the equivalence resistance in the circuit is given by:

Req=R3,5+R2+R6=16.7+75+15=106.7

Now using Ohms law, we get:

I=Req=100V106.7=0.937A

There the current just after the switch S is closed after the capacitors are initially uncharged is 0.937 A

03

Reading after the switch is closed for a long time

A fully charged capacitor acts as an infinite resistance which blocks the current. When the capacitors block the currents all the resistors will be in series, hence the equivalent resistance in the circuit will be:

Req=15+25+25+75=165

According to Ohms law, we get the current in the ammeter:

l=Req=100V165=0.606A

Therefore, the current after the switch was closed for a long time is 0.606 A

In an electric trolley or bus system, the vehicle motor draws current from an overhead wire by means of a long arm with an attachment at the end that slides along the overhead wire. A brilliant electric spark is often seen when the attachment crosses a junction in the wires where contact is momentarily lost. Explain this phenomenon.

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)?

In the circuit shown in Fig. E26.47 each capacitor initially has a charge of magnitude 3.50 nC on its plates. After the switch S is closed, what will be the current in the circuit at the instant that the capacitors have lost 80.0% of their initial stored energy?

In the circuit in Fig. E25.47, find (a) the rate of conversion of internal (chemical) energy to electrical energy within the battery; (b) the rate of dissipation of electrical energy in the battery; (c) the rate of dissipation of electrical energy in the external resistor.
