You are a journeyman electrician working in an industrial plant. Your task is to connect an inductor to a 480-V, 60-Hz line. To determine the proper conductor and fuse size for this installation, you need to know the amount of current the inductor will draw from the line. The nameplate on the inductor indicates that it has an inductance of 0.1 H. An ohmmeter reveals that it has a wire resistance of 10 . How much current should this inductor draw when connected to the line?

Having stabilized the fuel, you look to your computer for next steps. You are told that the spacecraft uses a "start capacitor" that must reach a required voltage in order to start its engine. This voltage is determined by the fixed capacitance and charge as a function of time, q(t) . These capacitors are charged and stored in your current location and must be brought to the spacecraft. Your computer provides you with the following definitions: Charge: The charge as a function of time is q(t)=∫i(t)dt , where i(t)=36t^5+15t^2−6 is the current as a function of time. You need to provide the computer with the function q(t) in order for it to appropriately charge the start capacitor. If an unknown constant is needed, it can be included using "+ C", being sure to use a capital letter as the lowercase is used for capacitance. q(t)=
Two identical capacitors in series with plate area A and between plates d are connected to a constant voltage DeltaV = 10V as shown in Figure 1. After the capacitors are fully charged, the switch is opened and the dielectric constant k = 4.0, thickness d and surface area A/2 are placed.

In the circuit diagram below, the capacitor C is first fully charged by using a 6.0V battery and the two way switch k. It is then discharged through the resistor R. The figure below shows how the charge Q on the capacitor C changes with time during the discharge. Use the graph to answer the following questions: What is the capacitance of the capacitor? Estimate the initial current through the resistor during the discharging process, hence, calculate the resistance of the resistor and the time constant of the circuit. On the same axes, draw graphs to show how the voltage Vc across the capacitor and VR across the resistor vary with time during the charging. Indicate values where appropriate.
