Ralph has three resistors, R1, R2, and R3, connected in series. When connected to an ideal emf source E1, current I1 flows through the resistors. a. If the resistors are instead connected to a second source with E2=2E1, what is the new current through the resistors in terms of the first current? b. Show that, if each resistance is doubled and the resistors are connected in series to the second emf source, the current through the resistors is equal to I1.
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?

In the first two parts of this experiment, we observe that when we flip the switch, thevoltage first very quickly changes to one value, then slowly changes after that. Let's examinehow to explain this.● Suppose the wire has a 10Ω resistance (which is almost certainly an overestimate) andthe voltmeter has a 1MΩ resistance (1Ω=1s/F). Given that our capacitances are of order~10μF, compute the time constant for each resistance: this is essentially the time it takesfor current to "go through" that component. From these timescales, consider: of the twoprocesses described above (the quick change in voltage and the slow change in voltage),which process is controlled by each component's resistance?
