Residential building codes typically require the use of 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 0.205 cm) for wiring receptacles. Such circuits carry currents as large as 20.0 A. If a wire of smaller diameter (with a higher gauge number) carried that much current, the wire could rise to a high temperature and cause a fire.

(c) Explain whether a 12-gauge aluminum wire would be as safe as a copper wire.

Hi, Here's my question. 26.45: An emf source (e=120 V), a resistor (R=80.0 W), and a capacitor (C=4.00 mF) are connected in series. As the capacitor charges, what is the magnitude of the charge on each plate of the capacitor when the current in the resistor is 0.900 A? Hint: From the information given, first calculate the voltage across the capacitor when the 0.900 A current flows in the circuit. Then use the voltage as a function of the time equation for a charging capacitor in an R-C circuit.
