You're having coffee at the local Starbucks when hunky Mr. Brad Pitt walks in and orders a grande mocha latte with whipped cream. You whip out your cell phone camera to snap a pic of him slurping down his extravagant drink. The flash unit for the camera has a capacitance of 1230 μF. The flash unit is connected to the lithium cell phone battery. What resistance is needed in this RC circuit if the flash is to charge to 92.0% of its full charge in 21.5 s? (NOTE: You must enter the SI unit of resistance as a word in all lowercase letters. The word for the unit is case sensitive.)

You have a faculty position at a community college and are teaching a class in automotive technology. You are deep in a discussion of using jumper cables to start a car with a dead battery from a car with a fresh battery. You have drawn the circuit diagram shown to explain the process. The battery on the left is the live battery in the correctly functioning car, with emf ε and internal resistance RL, where the L subscript refers to “live.” Its terminals are connected directly across those of the dead battery, in the middle of the diagram, with emf ε and internal resistance RD, where the D subscript refers to “dead.” Then, the starter in the car with the dead battery is activated by closing the ignition switch, allowing the car to start. The resistance of the starter is RS. A student raises his hand and asks, “So is the dead battery being charged while the starter is operating?” How do you respond?
