Item 15
Now we will consider some slightly different related scenarios to Example 21-18.
Part A
Example 21-18 depicts the following scenario. A circuit consists of a resistor R₁ = 126-, a resistor R₂ = 275-, a capacitor C = 182-μF, a switch, and an € = 3.00-V battery all connected in series. Initially the capacitor is uncharged and the switch is open. At
time t=0 the switch is closed.
increase
decrease
stay the same
3.00 V
Suppose the resistance of the 126-2 resistor is reduced by a factor of 2. Assume everything else in the problem remains the same. Does the final value of the charge on the capacitor increase, decrease, or stay the same?
