You wish to measure both the current through and the potential difference across some component of a circuit. It is not possible to do this simultaneously and accurately with ordinary voltmeters and ammeters. Explain why not.
One example of a water system is a garden hose that waters a garden. Another is the cooling system of an automobile. Which of these exhibits behavior more analogous to an electric circuit? Explain.
This time-lapse photo of a figure-skater was obtained using a camera
with an electronic flash attachment. The energy for each flash of light comes
from the electrical energy stored in a capacitor. Explain how the capacitor
