The two circuits shown contain identical fully charged capacitors at t = 0. Circuit 2 has twice as much resistance as circuit 1. Compare the charge on the two capacitors a short time after t = 0.
Check your answer: C: q2 > q1
Practice 8.4.2
Consider the circuit shown in the figure and assume the battery has no internal resistance. Just after the switch is closed, what is the current that flows through the battery?
Check your answer: D. 2V/R
Practice 8.4.3
Consider the circuit shown in the figure and assume the battery has no internal resistance. A very long time after the switch has been closed, what is the current that flows through the battery?
