Draw two graphs of charge versus time on a capacitor. Draw one for charging an initially uncharged capacitor in series with a resistor, as in the circuit in Figure 21.38, starting from t = 0. Draw the other for discharging a capacitor through a resistor, as in the circuit in Figure 21.39, starting at t = 0, with an initial charge Q0. Show at least two intervals of t.
Construe! Your Own Problem Consider a rechargeable lithium cell that is to be used to power a camcorder. Construct a problem in which you calculate the internal resistance of the cell during normal operation. Also, calculate the minimum voltage output of a battery charger to be used to recharge your lithium cell. Among the things to be considered are the emf and useful terminal voltage of a lithium cell and the current it should be able to supply to a camcorder.

(b) How long will it take to reduce the voltage on the capacitor to 0.250% (5% of 5%) of its full value once discharge begins? (c) If the capacitor is charged to a voltage V0through a 100-O resistance, calculate the time it takes to rise to 0.865V0(This is about two time constants.)

The power dissipated in a resistor is given by P = V2/R, which means power decreases if resistance increases. Yet this power is also given by P = I2R, which means power increases if resistance increases. Explain why there is no contradiction here.
Semi-truck or trucks use four large 12-V batteries. The starter systemrequires 24 V, while normal operation of the truck’s other electrical components utilizes 12 V. How could the four batteries be connected to produce 24 V? To produce 12 V? Why is 24 V better than 12 V for starting the truck’s engine (a very heavy load)?
