(a) Draw diagram of the circuit. Identify the physical meaning of each unknown on your drawing.
(b) Calculate the unknowns (in mA). With respect to the 5.8 V battery, consider current moving toward the positive pole as positive and current moving toward the negative pole as negative.
I1= ????? mA
I2= ????? mA
I3= ????? mA
The capacitor in the circuit shown below is initially uncharged. The switch is closed at t = 0 s. AVbattery = 24 V, C =
3.0 μF, and R = 2.0 Q. At sometime after the switch is closed, the voltage across the resistor is measured to be 16
V. What is the charge on the capacitor at this time, in µC?
Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not
include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the
question statement.
