In this chapter, most examples and problems involved direct current (DC). DC circuits have the current flowing in one direction, from positive to negative. When the current was changing, it was changed linearly from I=ImaxtoI=+Imax and the voltage changed linearly from V=Vmax to V=+Vmax where Vmax=ImaxR .Suppose a voltage source is placed in series with a resistor of R = 10 that supplied a current that alternated as a sine wave, for example, I(t)=(3.00A)sin(24.00st) . (a) What would a graph of the voltage drop across the resistor V(t) versus time look like? (b) What would a plot of V(t) versus I(t) for one period look like? (Hint: If you are not sure, try plotting V(t) versus I(t) using a spreadsheet.)

You connect a battery, resistor, and capacitor as in (Figure 1), where E = 46.0 V, C = 5.00 μF, and R = 130 Ω. The switch S is closed at t = 0. When the voltage across the capacitor is 8.00 VV, what is the magnitude of the current in the circuit? At what time tt after the switch is closed is the voltage across the capacitor 8.00 V? When the voltage across the capacitor is 8.00 V, at what rate is energy being stored in the capacitor?
To get the minimum current, the connection should be in series. If you create a series connection with 30V DC source and three resistors with R1 = 50Ω, R2 = 75Ω, and R3 = 100Ω, how do you calculate for the total current (IT) and the current flowing in each resistor (I1, I2, I3), and the total voltage (VT) and the voltage across each resistor (V1, V2, V3)? How do you also determine the power dissipated by each resistor (P1, P2, P3) and by the whole circuit (PT)??
To get the maximum current, the connection should be in parallel. If you create a parallel connection with 30V DC source and three resistors with R1 = 50Ω, R2 = 75Ω, and R3 = 100Ω, how do you calculate for the total current (IT) and the current flowing in each resistor (I1, I2, I3), and the total voltage (VT) and the voltage across each resistor (V1, V2, V3)?
