- This problem involves analyzing an RC circuit. See the circuit diagram below. Switch closes at t = 0 s. А. When the switch closes at t = 0, the capacitor will begin to charge. What is AVc a very long time after the switch has closed? After a very long time, what is the maximum charge on the capacitor, Qmax in terms of a combination of problem variables Ɛ, C or R? %3D Apply Kirchhoff's loop law starting clockwise from the lower left corner. Write down the loop equation for this circuit. How is the current through the resistor related to the instantaneous capacitor charge? Is I = + dQ/dt or I = – dQ/dt? Explain. | В. The Kirchhoff loop equation from part (A) should be a differential equation in terms of dQ/dt.

- A physics student has a single-occupancy dorm room. The student has a small refrigerator that runs with a current 4 A, a lamp that contains a 100-W bulb, an overhead light with a 60-W bulb, and various other small devices adding up to 8 w. All the appliances run on a voltage of 110 V. Overall Hint a. What is the total power used by the dorm room (while the refrigerator runs)? Total power used by the dorm room is W. b. Assuming that the power plant for the electricity is 10 km away and uses 00-gauge copper wire (diameter 9.266 mm), how much power is dissipated in transmission (remember to count the return wire), if the power plant is directly providing the 110-V? (To be more precise, the power plant is providing the voltage it needs to provide, so that the voltage at the dorm room is 110 V.)
