Six resistors, all having the same temperatures and compositions, are each attached to a battery with voltage V to form a simple circuit. The resistors have different lengths, l, but the same diameters. Rank the circuits according to the current that flows through the resistor from smallest to greatest. If two (or more) circuits have the same current flowing, give them the same ranking. Explain the rationale you used to establish your rankings.

An electronic apparatus may have large capacitors at high voltage in the power supply section, presenting a shock hazard even when the apparatus is switched off. A “bleeder resistor” is therefore placed across such a capacitor, as shown schematically in Figure, to bleed the charge from it after the apparatus is off. Why must the bleeder resistance be much greater than theeffective resistance of the rest of the circuit? How does this affect the time constant for discharging the capacitor?
A capacitor, C, is (fully) charged by connecting it to a 7 Volt EMF and then is allowed to dischargethrough a 2 Ω resistor as shown in the Figure. What is the current, I, in the circuit (in A) when thestored energy in the capacitor has dropped to 30% of its initial value?
